Old Monk Mojito Rum is the final flavour in the Connoisseur Collection, and the most conceptually ambitious one — it attempts to replicate an entire cocktail (the mojito) in a single spirit. The mojito is one of India's most popular bar orders, and Mohan Meakin's logic is clear: if people are already reaching for Old Monk when they order rum-based cocktails, why not give them the mojito flavour built in? Like Old Monk Cola Rum, pricing data for this variant is less consistently documented than core products, but it is a confirmed real product in the Connoisseur Collection lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Old Monk Mojito Rum?
Old Monk Mojito Rum is a mint-and-lime flavoured dark rum from Mohan Meakin's Connoisseur Collection. It combines the Old Monk rum base with natural mint and lime flavouring to replicate the mojito cocktail character in a single spirit — without muddling mint, squeezing lime, or making a syrup. It's the most cocktail-specific flavour in the Connoisseur range.
What is the price of Old Monk Mojito Rum in India?
Old Monk Mojito Rum is estimated at approximately Rs 510-550 in Delhi and Rs 580-630 in Mumbai for 750ml, in line with other Connoisseur Collection variants. Pricing data is less consistently documented for this variant than core Old Monk products — verify with your local retailer before making a trip specifically for this bottle.
Does Old Monk Mojito Rum actually taste like a mojito?
Broadly yes — the mint and lime flavours are recognisable and the rum base provides the structure you'd expect from a proper mojito rather than a premixed drink. It lacks the fresh-muddled mint sharpness and carbonation of a freshly made bar mojito, but the flavour profile is convincingly in that space. Over ice with a top of soda water, it comes close to a light mojito experience.
How should I serve Old Monk Mojito Rum?
Serve Old Monk Mojito Rum over crushed ice with a splash of soda water — this is the closest you'll get to the real mojito experience without fresh ingredients. Adding a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge as garnish also helps. For a more intensive cocktail, you can still add fresh lime juice and a little sugar syrup to deepen the flavours further.
Is Old Monk Mojito Rum available in smaller sizes?
Old Monk Mojito Rum is primarily sold in 750ml as part of the Connoisseur Collection. Availability of smaller formats varies by market and state. Distribution is more variable than core Old Monk products.
How does Old Monk Mojito Rum compare to Bacardi Mojito or pre-made mojito packs?
Old Monk Mojito Rum is a full-strength spirit at 42.8% ABV, unlike pre-made mojito packs or RTD (ready-to-drink) products which are typically 4-8% ABV. Bacardi Mojito premix is an RTD, not a spirit. Old Monk Mojito Rum is the spirit base — you still add soda and ice. It offers more control and a stronger mojito flavour than premixed options.
Is Old Monk Mojito Rum widely stocked in India?
Old Monk Mojito Rum has more variable availability than core Old Monk products. It's confirmed as a genuine Connoisseur Collection product but distribution in smaller markets is patchy. Best availability in Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, and Bangalore. If your local store doesn't have it, ask them to check with their Mohan Meakin distributor or look for online delivery options in your state.
