Today seems to be unofficial mint day here at Slashfood. While Nicole is enjoying her Dark Chocolate Dipped Cinnamon Altoids, I am dreaming of another concoction I heard about earlier this week. I was ~~trying to tune out~~ watching one of those shows on the Food Network about how to make candies, mints, etc., and while I've seen the process done many, many, times before, something they said made me stop what I was doing. Apparently, Oral Fixation makes a mint that is supposed to taste just like a Mojito - which just happens to be my favorite drink.

I did a little research and found out that they actually have a number of interesting flavors, including:

Mimosa Mint (Orange Mint Cocktails), Antioximints (Green Tea Mints), Jasmints (Herbal Jasmine Mints), Fabulous Fruit (Very Fruity Tropical Mints), 7 Deadly Cinnamon (Hot Cinnamon), Night Light (Caffeinated Chai Mint), Mojito Mint (Lime Mint Cocktail), Classical Peppermint (Strong Peppermint), and Spare Mint (Spearmint).

All of the mints are sugar-free, with the exception of Night Light which uses brown sugar to bring out the full flavor of spiced Chai. Has anyone out there tasted these yet? Do they taste like the flavors they are supposed to?

Although the concept of these mints is a great idea (who doesn't want a mimosa mint?), I found that they tasted too artificial (aka gross). We got a package of them at work, and did a taste test. Half the people spit them out, the other half thought they were okay, but not amazing, a few commented on the weird aftertaste. It was a shame really, their packaging is beautiful and the flavor combos seem really cool... who knows maybe it was just us?

I thought that the Chai mints were both dead-on for Chai flavor and quite tasty myself, but that may not represent all of the OF mints, due to the use of real sweetener in them.

I have tried all of the Oral Fixation flavors and they are all amazing. You guys are crazy! The Mojito Mint is by far the best. All of the mints have all natural flavors and mint oils so they are not IN YOUR FACE strong mints, they are smooth refreshing and long lasting. Only people with a refined palette can really notice the amazing blends and natural notes in the mints (Herbal Jasmints in particular) and everyone I know and have shown them to to try love them. I will never buy another mint.
