Mojito Mixed Drink

Mojitos have become very popular of late. This mixed drink made with rum, fresh mint and lime is extremely refreshing on a hot summer day, especially if slushed with crushed ice in the blender.

By the glass or by the pitcher, Mojito cocktails make a great before dinner drink or sunday afternoon by the pool cocktail. The next time you have company over, mix up a pitcher of Mojitos and you'll be the life of the party!
