Don't even use that for a mojito. Amen to that brother. I'm sure those mojito mixes are fine and all, and they may use all natural ingredients and what not, but a proper mojito is so darned easy to make that it just seems strange to bother using a mix to make a lesser drink. It'd be like using "martini mix" or "manhattan mix". If you can grow mint, keep a stock of sugar syrup, light rum, and canned soda water on hand, you are never more than one lime and two minutes away from a fine mojito.
