My first post, my first mojito<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the first mojito recipe I have posted on this blog, and I must warn you: many will come. I work for Ron Santa Teresa, the oldest Ron de Venezuela producer, so it’s natural for me to mix and shake rum-based cocktails. This is also my first post on this blog, so I want to tell you: mi casa es tu casa<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a refreshing drink, and therefore it\u2019s perfect for these hot summer days. I found the recipe in Market Fresh Mixology – Cocktails for Every Season<\/a><\/em>, a book by Bridget Albert and Mary Barranco. I bought the book for this particular recipe. And then, I went out to buy organic dried lavender flowers<\/a> to make my lavender syrup<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book came to me after a wonderful weekend in New York, where I had the opportunity to visit some of the best bars<\/a> I’ve been to. There, I could see how the mixologists are working increasingly with their homemade syrups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I started experimenting with vanilla, mint, and lavender. On the lavender syrup, I must say that it is simply sublime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rum that tastes like rum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this opportunity, I used Santa Teresa Claro<\/a>. This rum holds the seal Controlled Appellation of Origin <\/a>Ron de Venezuela<\/a>. <\/em>According to Giuseppe Gonz\u00e1lez, the mixologist at Painkiller, a trendy tiki bar in lower Manhattan, “this is a rum that tastes like rum, not vodka.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claro was created especially to make mojitos<\/a> and daiquiris<\/a>. Heavy rums give Claro its character and permanence. They also give it the aromas and flavors that make Claro the ideal rum to mix in all kinds of cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
