Title: Smirnoff Mojito?
Post by: Stan on July 06, 2008, 12:33:34 AM

 Isn't this a rum based drink?

 Oh Smirnoff, please send your Smirnoff Ice sales rep to explain this. Just imagine how many times you could say "Smirnoff Mojito" in one phone call.

 Better yet, send in McGuirk.


          Smirnoff Mojito!

Maybe there's some delicious imitation rum flavoring in those concoctions?

(By the way, I've been rewatching Home Movies lately, Stan, and I regularly bless the day you first told me about that lovely little show.)

Mojito is a rum based drink. If you're ever in Tucson Grill use to make a good one. I've had one or two people order them at my bar in in Japan, sadly I don't have any fresh mint to make it with.

Hey, I just realized I have two kinds of mint in my pseudogarden (spearmint and peppermint).  I see mojitos in my future.  Once I buy some white rum, anyway (I only have the dark stuff right now).

mojito sounds delicious.
smirnoff mojito, not so much.

in fact, smirnoff goes with "words that sound disgusting" and "what happens when you die".

I saw a billboard (Bacardi maybe?) that seemed to be promoting mango mojitos. Isn't that, you know, not what a mojito is?

Since there's no show tonight, I decided to make myself a mojito now.  Pretty darn good (though I think I'll put a little more mint in the next one).  If it's nice out on Saturday, I'm going to bring an armful of spearmint down to the bar and mix mojitos by the pitcherful for the assembled company, or at least a select few.

i think they infuse the fruit flavor in to the rum. i had a passion fruit mojito recently and it was heavenly!
