Favorite Rum for Mojitos?
 
Hi!

Ive been into Mojitos lately and was just curious what your favorite Rum was for this concoction.

Recently mixed in Havana Club Blanco (Cuban not PR) that the fiancee brought back from Italy. Very tasty :D

thanks

10 Cane Rum....is very delicious!

cool! Never tried the 10 Cane.

Anyone try Mount Gay? Supposedly one of the oldest Rum Distilleries in the world

Super rum. Enjoyed a lot of it in Barbados.

Captain Morgan Overproof is also quite good, but hard to find (and a lot better than the regular Captain Morgan rum which is everywhere). But for a mojito it is no contest, Havana Club is the best, just restricted to outside the US for real Cuban rum.

Ill stop by BevMo today and try the CM Overproof.

I want to serve Mojitos at my wedding, wanting to stay away from Bacardi but also be price conscience.

Ill try all the ones mentioned. Let me know if there are any more recommendations. Thanks ^

Mount Gay is defiantly my favorite rum. Reasonably priced too.

It's all about the Ron el Barrilito. Not always easy to find in the States but definitely worth the effort.

Since mojitos are supposed to be a light, refreshing mint drink, I like to stick with a good white rum when I make them. Mount Gay definitely works. I find dark rums or spiced rums make the drink too heavy and drown out the mint flavor.

Havana Club
 
Without a doubt it is Havana Club ^

I feel that I can provide some good input to this topic. First and foremost, Bacardi IS NOT that great. It has a strong marketing campaign, but it is not great. Most Puertoricans prefer Don Q, by the Seralles family. Another good rum mentioned in a previous thread in Ron Del Barrilito, but get the 3 star, it is a bit smoother. Another popular PR rum is Palo Viejo, but you will not find it outside of PR.

Mojitos are fantastic--Your invited guests will love you, your bartenders will feel a bit differently....

As for the OP's question, Barbancourt is my favorite.
