Mojito mix anyone?

Have any of you tried premixed mojitos that you can buy in a bottle?

I just made mojitos from scratch. Fresh mint and sqeezed limes, sugar, club soda, white rum. But, squeezing those limes was a pain! I'm not going to go out an buy a high tech juicer just for mojitos, so...I'm wondering if any of you have tried bottled mojito mix? Does it suck?

What about using barcardi limon'?
Suggestions, reviews, thoughts welcome.
Thanks!

    if you like 'em sweet, the Monin Mojito Mint syrup is okay.

    But nothing beats the fresh lime taste.

    And when I'm using rum instead of cachac, I always use bacardi limon.

    I'm afraid the premixed stuff is far too sweet for me, plus they often have icky stuff in em like corn syrup.

    Do they make bottled pure lime juice, maybe? I know they do for lemon juice...

      I did the bottled lime juice on a cruise ship (my private stateroom bar *grin*)...uh...the RealLime/RealLemon brand.

      It's not as good as fresh squeezed.
