National Mojito Day is July 11th and Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille will once again honor that special day with a miniature lime-guessing contest and free signature mojito glasses. The weeklong celebration begins July 5 and continues through the national day of recognition on July 11.
For a second consecutive year, guests at Doc Ford’s four locations can estimate the number of mini clay lime slices filling a 16 oz mojito glass and enter the contest via a QR code for the opportunity to win a $250 restaurant gift card. The contest runs from July 5 to 11 with winners to be notified by phone or email and then announced on social media July 12. Guests of all ages are welcome to participate in the contest, and there is only one entry per guest.
Doc Ford’s is also giving away keepsake mojito glasses on National Mojito Day to patrons who order from its mojito menu, featuring five flavorful curated cocktails. Choices include the traditional island mojito brimming with the timeless tastes of gold rum, muddled mint and lime, and a tropical mojito with Don Q pineapple, coconut or orange, or mango rum. Doc Ford’s also offers a cool cucumber mojito made with a choice of Pearl cucumber vodka or 1800 cucumber jalapeño tequila, plus a raspberry lemonade mojito boasting a tart cominbation of BACARDÍ raspberry rum, muddled mint, lime, lemonade, cranberry and a splash of soda. There’s even a mule-meets-mojito featuring Deep Eddy lime vodka with lime, mint and ginger beer. The Jungle Terrace Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille location also offers a special Strawberry Passion Mojito, made with strawberry, passfruit and lemonde.
“Mojitos are among the most popular drinks at our restaurants,” said Joe Harrity, a partner with HM Restaurant Group, which owns and operates Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille. “They offer a variety of flavor profiles, whether you’re in the mood for something on the sweet side or the time-honored lime-forward classic.”
