Mojito Cocktail
June 19, 2020
I don't know why but it seems to rain every Friday night! Honestly! I needed a refreshing cocktail to brighten this dreary night! So I decided on a Mojito. It is one of my favorite cocktails to order when we go to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. A Mojito is such a light and refreshing drink with the crisp taste of lime! Perfect for a hot summer night!
