Mojito Contest Video UPDATE:
Last month, Nacional 27 sent out a press release trumpeting the sale of what it claimed was its 250,000th mojito. This pan-Latin spot, which is still still-hot-as-habanero on weekends, opened in December, 1998 when the sugary, minty rum drink was still a novelty--and way before things like flavored mojito flights (which Nacional serves) hit menus. Pomegranate-ginger-chile mojito, anyone?
But look out, Nacional: Carnivale has you on the rum, er, run. Open since September, 2005, tonight it
kicks off a three-day celebration featuring dinner specials, live music and more in anticipation of the sale its100,000th mojito, which it is likely to be sold on Thursday. To get ready, tonight "Bacardi girls" push around a "Mojito 101 cart," giving out samples (no, those wont count towards the 100,000), and there will be a mojito making contest for you amateur muddlers. (Six finalists will return on Wednesday to be judged by celebrity a celebrity panel including Metromix's Karen Budell.) On Thursday, the restaurant will hold a drawing for a trip to Miami, which is pretty close to Cuba, we guess.
So alright, our question to you is: Whose mojito has mo' going on? Nacional 27 or Carnivale? Tell us your fave.
