New Bacardi Mojito Commercial
Monday, July 06, 2009

Hmmm, since I posted the Bacardi Mojito Ad video the other day it has come to my attention that there's a new commercial now.

It's pretty good but I think I still like the old commercial better. The beat of the music with and the muddling of the drinks just seems a lot cooler to me than this feel good video.

Bacardi Mojito Commercial
Saturday, July 04, 2009

It's summertime and that means that it's mojito time. Now if this Bacardi video doesn't make you want a mojito then you had better check your pulse.

Just one comment about the bartender. The poor guy has to sit there and muddle all of those mint leaves to make mojitos for everyone and that just doesn't seem fair to me. Give the guy a break and order a beer every once in a while.

Here's another Playmate Mixologist video where a Playboy Playmate shows you how to make a drink. This time the drink is the Mojito.

Playmate Mixologist
Saturday, August 09, 2008

Have you seen these Playboy videos yet? No, I'm not talking about the naked ones. Apparently they have a YouTube channel where the have playmates doing regular things on video. One of those regular things is making drinks.

Now how are regular people who make mixology videos ever going to get any views at all. If someone does find your video on How to Make A Margarita, the first thing they'll see is the Playboy Playmate in the related video section. Bye, bye, that viewer is gone.

It's not really fair but Playboy is pretty smart doing it.

Mojito of the Future
Friday, May 02, 2008

This is pretty wild. These molecular mixologists are lucky. Can you imagine having a job where you just mess around with science and make cocktails all day long. Sounds awesome.

In this video, they actually freeze mint and lime water with liquid nitrogen to later be added to the Mojito of the Future. Interesting stuff but I guess in the future, drinks are really small because he serves it in a tall shot glass.

Mojito Recipe

Here's another video that shows you how to make a Mojito. Slightly different than the Bacardi Mojito Recipe but he still uses Bacardi.

The key to a good Mojito is to always use the freshest ingredients. Fresh mint, fresh lime make all the difference.

P. Diddy and Ciroc
Wednesday, March 12, 2008

So what is the deal between Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Ciroc Vodka all about? You'd think it was another celebrity endorsement but it appears to be much more. Apparently Diddy is doing some marketing for Ciroc as well.

Besides the usual marketing videos that you see all over YouTube and other video sharing sites lately, he's also trying out shareable widgets. The hope is that people will put these widgets all over their MySpace and Facebook pages or their blogs and spread the word about Ciroc Vodka.

I would have added one to this blog post as an example but I can't seem to find one. Doesn't look like many people are sharing them yet.

Mojito Recipe
Wednesday, February 13, 2008

Buying Mojito Mixer at the supermarket was a great way to get introduced to the minty mojito but I'm ready for something that tastes more fresh.

I plan on growing a large amount of mint in my garden this year and I'm going to pick up a good muddler too.

Then after that, all I'll need is a good recipe. The Bacardi Mojito recipe below is the first one that I've seen and it looks good.

Something To Think About
Sunday, December 23, 2007

Now I don't want to sound like an alarmist but I just saw this video on how bartenders can cheat you and it makes me glad that I made most of my drinks at home.
