Drink of the week: Urban Thirst Mojito Mix Urban Thirst, NSW, $14 for 700ml This is after-five cordial for lazy cocktail lovers. Made with fresh juice, the Mojito, as favoured by Ernest Hemingway on his Cuban sabbaticals, is a one-bottle design by Kate O'Leary. Her range was launched in 2004 to negate the tedious sourcing of ingredients only for the sating of guests' thirsts to become a messy chore. While just-made drinks can't be beat, quality time with guests is a moot point. Here chilled bottles can be poured, iced, splashed, shaken, sipped. The range includes Margarita mix, Strawberry Daiquiri, Cosmopolitan, French Martini and the peachy sweet On the Beach. The Mojito, with its white rum and soda portions, nails the essence of zingy lime with a nice rasp of acidity as it goes down, quenching and refreshing. On the Beach, with a splash of vodka at its base, doesn't call for soda water to ease the treble on its sweetness, but the beauty of these ready-made mixers is in the user's tweaking. The twist: Having an Urban Thirst bottle in the Esky also means there's a non-alcoholic option. Mojito mix with soda, rocks and a sprig of mint makes good, old-fashioned fizz for the designated driver. Goes well: Shuffling to the Buena Vista Social Club. 4 out of 5 stars
