MOJITO! - 2 questions!

[kellybean]

DBF is not really a big drinker but when he does drink he likes to have a refreshing Mojito! He told me since we are on vacation he plans on having a Mojito with every dinner as well as poolside!

I've noticed that there are specific drink menus for the pool bars and well as the signature drinks at the restaurants...I know that a mojito requires mint leaves so not many places may be able to make them (we have this problem at home when we go out!)

So 2 questions:

1. Are you only able to order the "advertised" drinks that are listed on the menu or are the restaurants and poolside bars equipped with more liquors/mixers than listed in the menu drinks to accommodate drink requests?

2. Do you know which places CAN make DBF his mojito? None of the fruity mojitos, just the original with lime and mint... just in case he can't order them anywhere he wants, I'd like to be able to take him somewhere to get one!

Thanks!

Just about every lounge and pool bar should have fresh mint, and should be able to make him a "Classic" Mojito.

I don't know that many restaurants would take the time to make it properly, however.

Try Bongos on the West Side (Downtown Disney). DH loves mojitos--and those are done right!

Best place to get 'em would be Bongos. I do think the resort bars have stopped using all those syrups all the time - they used to make them with mojito syrup. Ugh. I am quite glad they no longer do that.

They also make fabulous mojitos on the Disney Cruise Line for those keeping track.

...adding that to my DCL cruise list for January ... thanks! When I'm not having the Drink of the Day, mojitos it is!

The bars in the resorts, pool bars, restaurants, etc. are full bars -- staffed by "real" bartenders. While they do have their featured drinks, you can order anything that you would order at a full bar. It's perfectly valid to inquire whether their mojito is made with fresh mint.

Bongo's is, indeed, the best place for a mojito.

I tired a strawberry mojito in May and it was delicous!!! They mulled the mint and the strawberry together. I think you would be able to get a mojito at any of the restaurtants.
