Felt inspired to give my unsolicited and unpaid opinion about a random product that nobody really cares that I'm trying. Exciting, huh?
Today it's Bacardi Silver Pomegranate Mojito. I have a friend from high school currently living in D.C. who is very fond of mojitos, and I've been meaning to try a mojito for quite some time. I'm not quite sure about the idea of mixing lime and mint, but he's really quite enthusiastic about them, so...
When I was doing the grocery shopping on Monday, I passed a display of Mojitos and Pomegranate Mojitos. I was in the mood for some Smirnoff Ice, but figured what the heck, I'd give these a try. Still not sure about the lime-mint mix, so I grabbed the pomegranate. I do like pomegranate. ($8 a six-pack, btw)
Wednesday night, kids are gone, perfect night to try them out. If they're really, really good, me & a six-pack, yes, could be quite fun.
Yeah. Not so much.
Quite a crisp feel to it, but although I couldn't taste the mint while I was actually drinking it, as soon as I swallowed there was an overwhelming flavor of mint. I almost felt like exhaling loudly like a mouthwash commercial.
Got through the bottle, but I've got five more of those things and I really am not that excited about going to grab another one. Hint for next time: until you know if you like something, get ONE.
I think I'll stick to my Smirnoff Ice, thanks. (which, dammit, I did not pick up, in favor of these)
And there you have it. My unsolicited, random opinion. Your mileage may vary. mk

yuck. save one for me though.
I think I'm the only one in America who likes those things.
Ro,
Depends on how long it takes you to come visit. I'll hold 'em as long as I can, but as there is currently no rum OR vodka in the house, I may be desperate enough to keep drinking them.
Jenny,
Beat Ro here and you can have hers!
