National Mojito Day

Overview

A good mojito finds the perfect blend of white rum, lime juice, soda water, mint and sugar. An inventive mojito tinkers with the recipe, because even the best drinks can use some spicing up. Maybe you're an original cocktail kind of person, or maybe you like getting creative — there's no right or wrong answer. But whichever category fits, prepare to get drinking at Riverland's National Mojito Day festivities.

Just one of the Eagle Street venue's array of boozy activities of late — including a pop-up hot-buttered rum bar and an espresso martini festival — this one-day celebration will sling 18 different types of the beverage in question. They'll all feature Balinese white rum; however fresh fruit and French liqueurs will get a run as well.

Head on down and start sipping on Friday, July 12, with the drinks pouring from 11am and live music kicking in at 5pm. Sure, National Mojito Day is actually officially the day before — but Riverland knows these kinds of shindigs are always better at the end of the week.
