PRODUCT REVIEW: BACARDI MOJITO CLASSIC

On 25th January, I did a post on how I was dreaming of a mojito. I demonstrated how I made a classic mojito with freshly squeezed lime + rum +mint + ice. These days you can find cocktails by the bottle. They have been mixed to perfection and bottled for you. If you love your cocktails standard and you dont like playing bartender, this is for you. I won a Bacardi hamper in a contest on Facebook. I wrote about it in a post here. It pairs lime and mint in the classic Bacardi. This drink is ready and you just have to add ice. I loved it. In fact it tasted like a real mojito. One concern however is that the mint essence was not so pronounced. I love my fresh mint and it was a bit subtle in the drink. Apart from that I loved the drink. It was sweet so there was no concern in leaving a tannic taste in my mouth or adding soda.
