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!
Mojito
Ingredients:
12 fresh mint leaves

Fill the glass with ice.

One sip brings me back to the beaches of the Riviera Maya! You will want to keep making these Mojitos all summer long! Cheers!
