The classic minty mojito – a very refreshing and oh, so delicious drink, especially on hot summer days. This Mojito offers a refreshing balance of sweetness, citrus, and mint, making it a great thirst-quencher when the sun is out. A word of warning however. If you make a pitcher you might be tempted to drink the whole thing yourself!
