Hello everyone!

Welcome to the point of summer when I don’t remember why I chose a blog in cooking everytime when I only want to eat about five things – watermelon, mango, iced coffee and/or drinks and cakes -until the heat and humidity recede.

Summer is all about the light and refreshing cocktails! In this case, that cocktail is a delicious mojito recipes. A fruity spin to an already tasty cocktail. 
It’s super refreshing and goes down pretty easy. Especially on a hot day.

We all know how much I love watermelon, right? This fruit need no other explanation, guys. It’s simply awesome. And, ofcourse for all the mango lovers out there, It’s the absolute perfect summer fruit! If you happen to have fresh mango on hand you could easily puree your own to create your own mango juice OR be on the lookout for mango nectar in your store. Because OUR today’s recipe is all about MOJITO recipes!

What is a mojito?

A mojito is a classic drink from Cuba. It’s light, refreshing, and just slightly sweet. Traditionally speaking a mojito is simply white rum, fresh limes, fresh mint, sugar, and club soda. To release all the flavor of the mint it’s important to not skip the step of muddling your mint in the glass. I like to use a wooden muddler to help gently bruise the mint to release its flavor.
