Mojito in a bag (LT. Blender's)

I stopped reading the recipe for making mojitos after the sentence "use a muddler to crush the mint" - yeah that's not happening.  I have tried mojito mix after mojito mix in an effort to find a taste comparable to the built from scratch drink - and nothing comes close.  Until now :)  My mom raved about the Mojito in a bag mix by LT. Blender's, so when Santa brought me my very own bag I couldn't wait to try it.  You simply add rum and water to the bag and shake it up  - and serve either frozen or on the rocks.  And let me tell you it's amazing - the perfect mix of lime and mint (it even has little mint pieces like the real deal)... so if you want to experience a mojito without the hassle of making it - you have got to give this a try.  LT. Blender's has an entire category of cocktails in a bag (Bellinis, Margaritas, Daiquiris, Pina Coladas, etc).... which now makes my schedule very busy (If you need me, I'll be drinking out of a bag).

And I know it's hard to think about refreshing drinks in the middle of winter... but summer is  sort of like the field of dreams - if you drink it, they will come :)
