Shaking up the mojito
Barmen despise making mojitos. The descendant of various Caribbean rum-based cocktails, they only became truly popular in the early 2000s. It’s not that they’re that difficult or require too many ingredients — and they’re nothing compared to hellish drinks like the Ramos gin fizz — but the mojito has several qualities that, combined, make it intensely frustrating. Namely, the mojito is very refreshing, can be drunk quickly and looks pretty, and therefore one order will spark a rush of others.
