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.

Both components keep indefinitely with zero effort. Mint and fresh limes have limited shelf lives. I don't quaff more than 2 Mai Tais in a sitting ever, and certainly not every night. =Kukoae=
