Love mojito? Me too!

Not too sweet, yet refreshing, it’s one of my favorite summer drinks.

I made a teeny-tiny twist to my classic mojito. A touch of coconut rum adds subtle coconut flavor to this otherwise classic mojito.

For extra minty flavor, I’m using mint simple syrup, which is very easy to make. Simply throw a few mint leaves in hot simple syrup and let it steep for about 15 minutes. It really boosts the mint flavor (read: even more refreshing drink!).

Cheers to a wonderful weekend ahead!

  2. My favourite Cocktail of all time is a mojito. The only thing that could trump it is possibly your Coconut Mojito
