BLOOD ORANGE MOJITO
LET’S PREPARE FOR YOUR
VIRTUAL MIXOLOGIST EXPERIENCE
Welcome! We’re so excited to host you! Please prepare for your Blood Orange Mojito Cocktail Experience by following the steps below. If you have any questions along the way, just ask!
PLEASE REFRIGERATE YOUR CITRUS! YOU’RE THE ZEST!
Step 1. PREPARE YOUR TOOLS
- Cocktail Shaker: Or you can use a wide mouth jar or water bottle with a sealed lid
- Measurement Tools: A jigger, shot glass, or tablespoon (2 tbsps = 1 oz)
- Knife & Cutting Board: To cut your citrus
- Muddler: A wooden spoon is a great substitute!
- Glassware: We recommend a Rocks Glass for this cocktail, but feel free to use your favorite glassware
- Citrus Juicer: Optional
Boxes shipped to Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, & Utah do not include alcohol. We recommend bringing White Rum for your cocktail or use your spirit of choice.
Step 2. PREPARE YOUR INGREDIENTS
FOR GUESTS RECEIVING INGREDIENT DELIVERY IN ADVANCE, YOUR BOX will be arriving from Cocktail Courier via Fedex. You must sign for your package and you may be asked for an ID to verify you’re over 21.
IN ADDITION TO THE INGREDIENTS IN YOUR box, PLEASE PREPARE THESE INGREDIENTS:
- Ice: At least 4 cups
- Egg White: Highly recommended! We’ll use it for a fun cocktail variation
FOR GUESTS PROVIDING THEIR OWN INGREDIENTS, HERE IS THE FULL INGREDIENT LIST:
- 1/2 lime
- 0.75 oz blood orange & mint syrup (recipe below)
- 1.5 oz white rum*
- 2 oz soda water
*Soda water replaces the spirit in non-alcoholic boxes
Blood Orange & Mint Syrup

Step 3. PREPARE YOUR PLATFORM
Please ENsure you have the correct VIDeO platform, SUCH AS ZOOM, downloaded for your event.
For a more interactive event, we encourage all guests to turn their video on during the experience.
YOU’RE ALL SET!
THE DAY BEFORE YOUR EXPERIENCE WE’LL SEND THE EVENT LINK TO YOUR INBOX. In the meantime, CHECK OUT OUR VIRTUAL ETIQUETTE TIPs or bar games.
(Yeah, we’d choose the bar games too.)
VIRTUAL ETIQUETTE
Prepare your space – Make sure you have a strong internet connection with little background noise if possible
Mute yourself when not speaking – This will eliminate background noise (like cocktail shaking!) that makes it difficult for others to hear the speaker.
Be sure to come prepared – Come with ingredients and supplies ready! Set yourself up in the kitchen where you have ample counter space and access to a sink.
Please come 10 minutes early – This way we can get to know each other and start right on time!
BAR GAMES
Amplify your experience with these extracurricular activities!
Head to the bar! – Transport yourself to Bar Avital with this downloadable Zoom background.
Make a pregame cocktail – A light refreshment to get the juices flowing before your virtual experience.
