mimi's island

it can't be contested....my two favorite drinks, bloody marys and mojitos, are two of the most high maintenance cocktails out there. i will only indulge in either of them if they are made perfectly and lucky for me i've found my outlet on Guam - Fishbowl. It can be considered a permanent fixture on island because when it first opened its doors, it managed to upgrade the bar scene to include reliable ambiance, delectable cocktails, and a hospitable staff. for weeks now, i've deemed it my wednesday happy hour locale where i meet with whomever i can recruit to join me for the best mojitos fathomable. i've been fortunate enough to be in good company and be catered to by its authoritatively distinct bar manager, jun. week after week, i've been treated to a special concoction that has left me with no other choice than to continue to chorale my troops for a wednesday night rendezvous that i've permanently deemed as "mojito wednesdays".
it's no coincidence that my social aptitude has given me recognition at several bars on island - where i am often given high-five gestures, free drinks, reduced bar tabs, prime service, and special concoctions from time to time. i'm a patron that will worship a fine bar and a skilled staff because i am admittingly a humbled frequent flyer.
and now i'm tickled that my mojito of choice has been given permanence in the form of a menu item on a certain promo:

just what would classify this mojito as first-class? i must first tell you of when i tried to tend my very own mojitos and miserably failed because decent mint was nowhere to be found. here they hand-pick their own mint from their own nursery and it is brought fresh, abundant, and flavorful for each serving. generous amounts of brown-sugar syrup, club soda, sweet and sour mix, rum, and flavorful accoutrements are skillfully shaken with love to serve up a perfect drink that i can never refuse.
