I’m looking forward to trying Purista when the line of cocktail mixes comes to New York in July! I’ve heard so many great things about them and Purista has just come-out with a mix for one of my favorite drinks — the Mojito. The Purista Mojito Premium Cocktail Mix is a 100% natural solution for making Mojitos without having to deal with a time-consuming process. Mojitos present an array of challenges for any cocktail enthusiast — the fragility of fresh mint, the labor and time required to hand-muddle, the scarcity of fresh sugar cane juice and the challenge of creating consistent, quality Mojitos that achieve the desirable tart-sweet balance – which is why you’ll often hear bartenders sigh when a patron orders the popular drink.

Recognizing this, Master Mixologist Michael Hensel, who began making the beloved Cuban cocktail more than 20 years ago as a bartender in Germany, created a fresh-made, hand-crafted non-alcoholic Mojito blend using only the finest ingredients – nothing artificial, no muddling required. Just add rum and club soda.

Each 750-milliliter bottle of Purista Mojito Premium Cocktail Mix is an all-natural blend of fresh key lime juice, organic sugar cane juice, fresh mint leaves and filtered water. No preservatives. No artificial anything. When combined with an equal part white rum and two parts club soda, each bottle creates 17 six-ounce Mojitos. In addition, Hensel presents Purista Mojito Blackberry for a twist on the classic or to create a martini with premium vodka, as well as Purista Margarita and Purista Caipirinha.

Purista is available for at select retail locations in California, Florida and Nevada; beginning in June, Purista will be available in Texas, New Jersey, Colorado and Illinois, and in July, consumers will find the premium cocktail mixes in New York.
