Pepsi with Mojito taste?!
Posted by Bartender BTC in New beverages on April 8th, 2009
A few days ago, I tried the Pepsi max Mojito softdrinks, the newest “abuse” of the famous and loved cocktail Mojito. I must say, this is really a joke in my eyes. Why Pepsi and mojito? Why not a club soda with mint and lime (which might be good)?
So what does the pepsi max mojito taste of?
Its a light product, meaning no sugar added (which are replaced by chemical sweetener) which of course has it’s weekness in case of a “unreal” sweet taste. At first you notice the sweet taste for short after being replaced by a taste of mint. It’s almost scary how little there is left of the pepsi/cola taste! So in my eyes, Pepsi has created a softdrink there normal users wouldn’t like (since almost no taste of classic pepsi) and by no way created a softdrink that mojito-lovers would accept.
No wonder this is only a limited edition, it would be a failure anyway!
Ice crushing machine
Posted by Bartender BTC in New equipment on February 15th, 2009
New equipment for making good looking crushed ice for private bar users. We tested this crushing maschine, which how ever doen’t really have a brand name?
Anyway, here is how it looks:
Cost about 30£ and makes a good crushed ice for a private bar. When crushing the ice, it makes a awfull laut noice, so if there is no music everyone in the bar-room will notice that you are crushing some ice 
Buy if you want to have some nice looking ice for you mojito, and don’t need ice for more than 3-4 drinks. Above that, you need something smarter.
