laviolil Posted January 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Has anyone successfully had a real Mojito (mint/lime not from a mix bottle) on the Carnival Victory? A lot of bartenders don't even know what it is. I'm a cruise newbie, and am looking forward to a mojito as we sail away from Miami. I'd rather be disappointed now than later :p Much appreciated!

DarthGrady Posted January 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I don't know about the Victory, but I was recently on the Glory and had a very good mojito. The bartender had set up at a small bar on the promenade deck, and was making mojitos only. He used real limes and real mint leaves, and properly bruised them with a glass dowel. If they don't have a similar bar on the Vic., just ask the bartender if they make them the "real way" or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgun8 Posted January 14, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2008 maybe I've only had the premix type, but that is the nastiest drink. Taste like black licorise to me. yuck:p :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taste like black licorise to me. yuck:p :eek: You must have been given the wrong drink. A Mojito is made of Lime, rum, mint leaves, club soda and sugar.

Taste like black licorise to me. yuck:p :eek: A mixed drink with a black licorice taste would have to either have Jagermeister or Absinthe in it. Both have a strong licorice taste. Absinthe is still hard to get in the US, so it was probably a Jagermeister based drink. I think the Mojito kinda tastes like a minty sprite, to give it a commonly known description.

tkere Posted January 16, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I had it on the destiny but it was in the cigar bar only. Ask a bartender, they will tell you when you are onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterboatingdotcom Posted January 16, 2008 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2008 They had a Mojito special night in the casino bar when we were there last year. It was the real McCoy, although my wife discovered she doesn't like Mojitos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenatorsFan Posted January 16, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi, DH drank mojitos on Valor 2 weeks ago and loved them. There were lots of mint leaves at the bottom of his glass so he was happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
