More than 1,000 mojitos were served across Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille locations during the restaurant’s National Mojito Day celebration, which also awarded four guests $250 gift cards through a weeklong lime jellybean guessing contest. Guests who ordered a mojito July 11 also received a complimentary keepsake glass.

“National Mojito Day is always a fun celebration at Doc Ford’s and our customers love it,” said Joe Harrity, a partner with HM Restaurant Group, which manages Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille. “The day entices them to try a mojito for the first time or explore the various flavor profiles on our mojito menu.”

The restaurant offers a variety of handcrafted mojitos, from the traditional mojito to tropical-inspired favorites.

Guests at each location also guessed the number of jellybeans filling a 16-ounce mojito glass to win a $250 gift card. The restaurants received more than 300 entries. The winners are:

• Sanibel: Alise Pastorik
• Fort Myers Beach: Jack Molnar
