Sipping a mojito pretending I am on vacation while traveling one evening to Detroit!

My travels have been sporadic so on trips I take currently I focus on taking myself out of my comfort zone. One example, which is becoming increasingly difficult, is ensuring I try out new coffee shops (so walking away when I see a Starbucks - although, I have nothing against them!). This week’s IBM proposal work led me to fly out Monday evening to Detroit and fly back home Thursday.

My airport swag!

I like mirror selfies - no shame!

As I arrived at the airport, a bit early for once (note: I am infamous for getting to my gate as soon as they start boarding or just prior to the gate closing but ‘never’ late), I had some work to complete on my laptop so I decided to switch things up and grab a seat at the TGI Fridays bar! Why not? I ordered the following. Enjoy my cocktail review!

Location PIT International Airport

Date of Trial April 15, 2019

Purchased Ultimate Tropical Berry Mojito (300 calories)

If you like a burst of sugar in your mouth then this mojito is just the right one for you! For me? I like (really like) sugar but this tasted like a strawberry daquiri that drank a Redbull. One thing to highlight - I adored all the fresh mint!

Overall - B-

Items below are rated on a scale from 1 to 5 (1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest)

  • Presentation - 4

  • Boldness - 2

  • Sweetness - 5 (sugar overload)

  • Price - $9.00

The staff here was fantastic and extremely welcoming! I ended up ordering a second [classic] mojito with the help of the staff’s friendly encouragement. See picture below:

Classic Mojito also sweet!

Bold mintiness - lovin’ that!

Cheers!
