Hands down one of my favorite drinks, no questions asked. A mojito a day may not keep the doctor away but it will keep me satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Verdict:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The dirty &#8216;jito is in fact dirty; a mix of vodka and club soda simmered down by garnishes and jello powder makes for a cheap mojito. It isn&#8217;t as good as the real mojitos but it will suffice for my budget. The hangover scale is kind on this one with a soft 2\/5, vodka has never bothered me much. Tastiness tops out at a 4.3\/5, the mint adds a new feature to the tanginess. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a little kick to their drink. As always, drink responsibly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the docks of Spain&#8230;or Italy&#8230;or Whitewater.
