Mojito Lime Seasoning

Brisk and fruity with lime and tangerine, our salt-free Mojito Lime Seasoning fuses fruit and savory flavors for a summer-bright seasoning blend that’s good all year ‘round. Lime, garlic, and onion come in first and set the stage, followed by a burst of orange and the gentle lemon of basil. There’s just enough cayenne to lend it some heat and just enough black pepper to add resinous depth and a citrusy top-note. Grassy, licorice-y Mexican oregano comes in at the end, merging with the clean taste of spearmint for a refreshing, herbaceous finish. Our Mojito Lime Seasoning is blended in our facility in small batches, so we can protect flavor and freshness in our products.

The mojito is a tropical mixed drink, made of rum, lime, spearmint, simple syrup, and a shot of sparkling water that gives this already refreshing drink extra zing. There are at least four competing myths vying to be distinguished as the origin of the mojito, but this is one of the most-served drinks in the world and its murky origins are resigned to myth. What’s fairly certain is the mojito began its rise in relatively modern popularity when the Bacardi company began operations in Cuba in 1862. By Prohibition, the mojito had become a standard through Havana, when the Americans who could afford it frequented Cuba during that time, when they wanted nightlife and a fruity, fresh cocktail.

Tips From Our Kitchen

Despite the name, our Mojito Lime Seasoning is NOT made to mix into a mojito. It has too many savory elements for this cocktail, though the original mix was inspired by the adult beverage. Salt-free Mojito Lime Seasoning works beautifully with foods like green beans or tomatoes, tossed over them when they’re fresh off the grill or out of the oven. Try this blend on white fish like fluke or haddock, or over grilled shrimp. Make a marinade for fish or chicken by using equal parts Mojito Lime Seasoning, lime juice, and water, blended with olive oil. If you don’t want to marinate your food this would also be a great all-purpose vinaigrette. The citrus in this blend can also cut through the flavors on oily fish, so try it tossed on tuna, trout, or on grilled salmon tacos. It’s also delicious stirred in to a pot of rice fresh off the heat. Add to your choice of fruit salsa for a sweet and savory condiment.

Salt-free Mojito Lime Seasoning is blended from garlic, lime juice powder, citric acid, spearmint, orange, cayenne, onion, black pepper, basil, and Mexican oregano.
