Actually, Scrub was not the only place with a Mojito shortage. When we were there in late February there was a major mint shortage. Mojitos are normally our go to for onboard happy hour, but this trip there was no mint to be bought at any store in Road Town! We tried to order Mojitos at Peter Is., Marina Cay, and Saba Rock, but no one could make them. No solution until reaching Cow Wreck, where Bell sold us some mint from her herb garden. It was a different mint than I'm used to, more of an Asian style, small leaf with a basil flavor, but our onboard bar was functional again, at least for a couple of nights. Another problem solved by a trip to Cow Wreck!


Oh for crying out loud... Mint is a WEED & will grow uncontrollably pretty much anywhere! No excuse for that!

I should clarify- Scrub DID make me something with mint syrup quite akin to Scope in color & flavor, but it was so utterly gross no one could consider actually consuming it.

For an investment of less than $10 all of those places could have sold hundreds of dollars worth of mojitos! Sigh. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />


If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning. [Linked Image]
