The 5 BEST Mojito Bars in Miami

- The classic mojito is a refreshing, minty, rum-and-lime-based cocktail invented centuries ago in Cuba. But we’re not in Cuba; we’re in the U.S.-and no place in the U.S. is more Cuban than the tiny village of Miami, Florida. So we left the kids with a sitter so we could drink our way through town in search of the best Mojito this side of Havana. It’s a rough mission, but we’re taking one for the team. So let’s start devouring-mojitos.
A classic mojito consists of white rum, sugar (typically sugar cane juice or simple syrup), muddled mint, fresh lime juice, and soda water. And with such a simple recipe, you’d think it would be hard to screw up, but that’s not the case. It’s all about the best ingredients and the ideal ratios.
By the way, our favorite mojito prior to this tour was in a little place in Seaside, Florida called Great Southern. It’s their signature drink and they have a bunch of flavors like peach, strawberry, pineapple, and others. But they’re not just adding a shot of schnapps for these. The peach, for example, has half of a muddled southern peach in there. So the flavors are real, fresh, and incredible.
While Havana is the birthplace of the mojito, its exact origin is still the subject of debate. It’s known that the local South American Indians had remedies for various tropical illnesses, so a small boarding party went ashore on Cuba and came back with ingredients for an effective medicine.
Another theory is that it was invented by Sir Francis Drake. That cocktail, called "El Draque" was made with brandy. And although it wasn’t called a mojito, it was the original combination of these ingredients.
By the way, you don’t have to come all the way to this side of the planet to satisfy your mojito fix. an international market research company found that in 2016 the mojito was the most popular cocktail in Britain and France.

ABOUT US.
We’re the Lockwoods: a family with 3 kids, 5 careers, and endless passion for adventure. Two years ago, we decided it was time for Phil's ad agency to abandon the in-person, 5-day workweek. So they 86’d the office and work hours, allowing our own family to start traveling almost constantly. We now work, school, and explore in a different place every week-from our own mountain and beach homes to exotic villas, resorts, and yachts around the world. As we experience and support diverse cultures, we hope to inspire more families to design a life of freedom and adventure.
Because there’s a new American Dream. It’s one that’s void of templated expectations, templated career paths, templated education, templated families, templated homes, and templated lives. Freedom is no longer an American tagline-it’s just the new, global way of life.
Every day that you spend doing something that doesn’t fulfill you to your core, you’re living your life on pause. You’re deferring genuine family time with no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow or a someday. Some people follow that mentality their entire lives. We’ve chosen to never live that way again.
We appreciate you following our journey. The more our channel grows, the more time we can spend traveling to more locations, contributing to these cultures, highlighting local businesses, and sharing inspiring stories from these communities. So please consider liking, commenting, and subscribing so that you can stick with us for the long haul.

I absolutely love the 'adults only' day. You two deserve it. Always professional, no matter how many drinks 😎 cheers!
Thank you! It was certainly fun. And it was nice to have an afternoon adulting 😆
They were starting to slur by the 3rd bar 😂
Oooh another one
Thank you for watching and following us along!
hehe... okay the stars of this episode were definitely Erin after the fifth Mojito... and then Phil's Mojito with the dark rum. If I were to make one I'd go with dark rum too... and a whole chunk of lime with zest and all, whole cane sugar, and a sprig of mint, and a spec of rosemary or sage, and while were at it... a gold fleck... all in the blender with ice for brown green sludgy heaven. Gotta have a name too... how about, "Mojito from heaven" Love and blessings.
That sounds like an epic mojito! A gold fleck! This is Erin BTW... lol. The mojitos definitely won, but I'm gonna keep trying. I have to if I'm going to keep up with Phil :)
Oh, wow... I think a recipe like that may have won our little competition :D DEFINITELY loving the idea of another aromatic/herb... those always take cocktails to another level. Always great to hear from you-hope all is well!!
