“Mojitos are popular and in great demand these days,” says Tim Barr, Marketing Director for Daily’s, “but they are not the easiest cocktails to prepare, either at the bar or at home. Daily’s Mojito Mix is the perfect solution. It is easy to use and minimizes waste but more importantly it makes consistently great tasting mojitos time after time.

Daily’s authentic mojito formula was developed by in-house mixologists using only the finest all natural flavors. It is delicious mixed with rum as a classic mojito or combined with other Daily’s mixers such as Daily’s Cosmopolitan Mix and Daily’s new Pomegranate Mix to add new dimension to this fashionable cocktail.
