What's the best clear rum for Mojitos? Most clear rums are not very smooth and don't make a very good Mojito, but I've had some great Mojitos. I just don't know what kind of rum it was.

From what I understand, Habana Club 3 is the best rum for a mojito. But I've never tried it.

I've made drinkable mojitos with Bacardi Silver (it's the only way I can drink it) and NOLA White rum.

I fondled TOJE's pen.

MetsFan is right, why make other suggestions

punchme · 04-23-2002, 12:27 PM

Well, because HC3 is not all that easy to come by.

HC3 is the only Rum for authentic Mojitos as I understand it. Really not that hard to find at all

Only use HC3...is the only way to get the "real" taste of it!!

Aahzz's question of the day:

What's a mojito?

punchme · 04-25-2002, 09:43 AM

The national drink of Cuba and the most delicious rum drink ever invented! Do a web search to find a recipe, but it's basically rum, mint, sugar, soda.
