As you all know, I normally have lots of terrific things to say about all things culinary.  I most certainly try to give many places the benefit of the doubt and I even admit my faults when I am wrong. But, this time, I had such an outstandingly bad experience that I need to let you know all about it.

So, it being a Friday afternoon after work, my husband and I figured it the perfect time to take advantage of the warm Chicago weather.  So, we headed out for a evening cocktail.  We chose District Bar, located in the River North area, much for the reason that it virtually has outdoor seating due to  large windows that can be pulled wide open.  Also, their Mojito special was another enticement - half price on Fridays.  Sounds good, huh?

But, while the price may sound sweet, this Mojito was anything but.  In fact, it was plain horrible, repugnant, tasting hardly like any Mojito I have ever had.  One could seriously describe it as a canned or bottled Mojito remake, but 10x worse than this.  I would be shocked if this was freshly made.  And, if it was, I would certainly want to know who could concoct something like this.  I, nor my husband, could even finish this "wanna be" drink.  I think it was actually 3 to 4 sips, before we headed for the door.

Moreover, the bartender never even asked us if we liked the drink, even though he seemed to take notice that we weren't drinking it.  And, when we asked for the bill with full glasses and having only been there for a couple of minutes, he still offered no comment.

So off we went, with a truly sour taste in our mouth.  Now, we didn't try food or other drinks on this menu.  So really, all I can tell you with complete certainty is DO NOT ORDER THE "WANNA BE" MOJITO, whatever you do.
