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.
