Hey, Reader!
The mojito is practically made for summer — the iconic combo of rum, lime juice and fresh mint just hits the spot on a hot day.
This is a drink that every at-home bartender should have as part of their repertoire. It's easy to mix up and such a crowd pleaser thanks to sour, sweet and herbal notes. You can even make a virgin version for all the flavor without the booze.
Once you've mastered the basics, transform your recipe with fruits and flavors. Here are some recipes to get you started:
citrus
The classic recipe uses rum for a sour kick that balances out the sweetness. Lemon brings a brighter citrus flavor for an easy way to transform the drink.
berries
Sweet berries are in season and are such a great addition to the freshness of the mint. From blueberry to blackberry, or even strawberry or raspberry, these fruits add both color and flavor to your drink.
melon
Whether you’re hosting a barbecue or relaxing by the pool, the watermelon mojito is the ideal drink to keep you refreshed and satisfied. Sweet flavor and color make this drink look and taste like summer!
tropical
If you're in need of a vacation, sip on a pineapple, coconut or mango mojito. These bright flavors will take your taste buds straight to paradise!
frozen
To get the ultimate refreshment, pop any of these mojitos into the blender with ice. The result is a frozen delight with a slushy-like consistency that is perfect for even the hottest days.
When it comes to mojitos, the possibilities are endless — and delicious. Mojito jello shots are another fun option that is especially great for parties!
Cheers!
