Mojito Classic ready to serve comes in a completely clear bottle of 70 cl. The cap of the bottle is white and can be reclosed. The drink in the bottle looks like lemonade, cloudy yellow, maybe some green too. The label on the bottle is printed to a transparent sticker. The bottle itself is simple and stylish I think. I don’t even have to mention that it is 100% recyclable.

Mojito

-

Mojito is a traditional Cuban rum-based highball. The classic version is made of five ingredients only: lime juice, sugar cane juice, spearmint (bruised, not shredded), white rum and sparkling water served in Collins glass.

I found that if you make your own Mojito the taste of the drink is always different whenever you make it. The ingredients (lime and mint) taste different and also the type of water you use can change the taste of your drink. Not that I care that much, just noticed. The real difference for me was when I did it in Hungary and then here in the UK as the water tastes really different.

This cocktail has loads of versions; the most well known I think is Virgin Mojito (called also Nohito) which is alcohol free. The Dirty Mojito is made with spiced rum and brown sugar syrup. The Mexican Mojito is made of tequila instead of rum. Apple Mojito has an extra ingredient: apple flavoured liqueur. And the last one I mention is the Sugar free Mojito which is made of agave nectar instead of cane sugar syrup.

Bacardi Mojito Classic

So what to expect from a company that manufactures loads of premium quality drinks when it comes to a famous and very popular drink? I expect a nice drink…

After opening the bottle I can’t resist and sniff the drink: I feel a pleasant scent of lemon, rum and mint but doesn’t remind me of the home made cocktail if I want to
