I don't really drink, but now I LOVE Mojitos!

[Papa Deuce]

I had one in Florida last week. It was just flat out awesome.... I've had about 5 or 6 since then... Gotta check myself now.... Seriously, I have never had a drink before that made me want to actually drink them because I just really like them....

You have a drink like that?

I've always wanted to try a mojito! They look so good. But.... I'm not a big fan of mint. Is there a strong mint flavor?

Well mine had it, but youy can easily use or ask for less mint.

 

[Cindy B]

You can make them yourself... it is pretty easy.

I like the Smirnoff Vodka mojitos... that bottle is really good.

Get a flavored mojito, it hardly tastes like mint at all...It is my favorite mixed drink--so yummy!

 

[Papa Deuce]

and yes, they do look so good!

Mojito is my favorite drink. I had them as the signature drink at my wedding a few years ago. They're yummy and pretty.

I like them so much I invented a 'No'jito. Instead of rum, a couple shots of ginger ale and the rest just the same. The bartender at Cheeseburger In Paradise taught his whole crew how to make them. I grow mint and I bought myself a whole bag of limes yesterday so I'll be drinkin' Nojitos this weekend. It's the most refreshing drink I've ever had!!!

I liked them so much a few years ago that I started growing my own mint in a beautiful planter by the front steps -- first thing you'd smell when walking up to the front door led to many, many unplanned mojitos that summer

I'll try those with diet ginger ale!

I do the same thing, but with club soda. I buy the limes at Costco, and grow the mint in a huge pot on my door step so it doesn't spread into the lawn.
When/if I add rum, I like Bacardi Limon.

I love mojitos too, I make them at home using the fresh mint from our herb garden. They are a prefect summer evening drink!

Refreshing and buzz-inducing! I did extensive mojito research on my trip to Sanibel Island this year. Thank goodness dh was designated driver!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm not a big drinker, but love having "special drinks". I have a couple of friends who have been sober with AA for years and like to have something fun when they come over but without alcohol.

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

I hear you. I'm not a big drinker, so it's weird when I find a drink that I really like. Mojitos are yummy... but I've found a new love... Smirnoff Vanilla Twist Vodka... It's good mixed with anything!

I did make them with diet ginger ale and they were good. I did like them better with all club soda, though. And I had to cut back on the mint. I was using about 6 or 7 big leaves.

Yeah, I use club soda AND ginger ale. The taste of the ginger ale( just two shots worth) replaces the taste of the rum. Does Canada Dry make a good diet ginger ale? I've been using regular because I normally detest diet soda. I rarely drink 'diet' anything as I stick mostly to water but in this case...

I love Canada Dry diet. It is really the only good diet ginger ale that I can find. Verner's is also good, but I can't get it in Md.
