Mount gay eclipse mojito
The Nevada is a drink I set up in the guide Art of the Bar. Its a great summertime rum drink that differs from the usual rum punch variety of drinks by not being overly sweet. If you make one at sunset at the beach, you can admire the lovely color as you sip it on the deck.
We just got back from Salt Cay in Turks and Caicos, where we discovered some Salt Cay Rum. Im using that here just for the heck of it, but a better rum would be Mount Gay Eclipse (or even Extra Ancient if youre feeling adventurous). You definitely want a rum on the vanilla/syrupy side of the rum range for this drink. Turns out that Salt Cay rum is more like a central American rum (it is modeled after Zacapa), but well ignore that distinction for now.

I have wanted to make this cocktail for a long time and finally got around to it and perfected it a few weeks ago at a good friends wedding. Making fresh syrups is a fun and easy way to get delicious natural flavour in your drinks. It was a screaming success with the lavender flavour coming in subtly on the finish and the cocktail being as delicious and refreshing as any well made Mojito could be. It was the first be guaranteed not to be the last time I make this little beauty. Mmmm writing this on a Friday afternoon I can't think of anything more suitable to be drinking this very second.

The reasons for re-thinking this being: 1: Im a huge fan of several other Havana Club rums – 3 Años, 7 Años and Seleccion de Maestros – and Im slightly concerned about coming over as a bit of an HC fanboy. This leads me to 2: If Im really sincere HC Añejo Especial isnt nearly as good as those others and while I always describe it as a “rock strong mixer” Id certainly never consider sipping it on its own. Which is a pity because, if I had, I might h
