Ingredients:  {for 4 servings}

Yum!
I first had these in Puerto Rico a few years back and have yet to find one here that I like as much!

Oooh this looks so pretty. I got a drink over the weekend and it was some sort of martini. When they brought it out, they brought a martini glass with actual cotton candy in it! And then they poured the drink over it and the cotton candy dissolved. It was cool! THe drink was SO sweet, so you could only have one really without feeling like you needed to make a trip to the dentist, but it was so good! It was from TGI Fridays!

Yummy!!! Can you believe I have NEVER tried a Mojito? I want to now!!

I've had some REALLY great mojitos and some really awful ones.
I've never tried to make one myself... I don't trust myself around mixed drinks sometimes anyways!

Oh and I have a weird texture thing so my mint can't be crushed up too much because then it goes up my straw... GAHHH

When I think mojito, I think 'summer'; it such a nice drink to have on a patio. There's a hotel in Montreal that has a rooftop bar/patio and they do an AMAZING mojito!

Now I'm thirsty ;)

Oh yum! I had one of those last night. My fav!

Melissa Jo said...

I've never been a huge fan of mojitos, but maybe I just haven't had a good one! My favorite is a classic lime margarita on the rocks, white tequila, extra salt!

Rachel said...

Girl, you are making me want a mojita and it's only 10:30am.

New follower from ftlob :) Love your design, by the way!

I LOVE Mojitos! One of my fav. restaurants here in Charleston, Coast, has a pineapple mojito that is absolutely FABULOUS!

Meri said...

I love them! I hate to admit it, but sometimes I just buy the mix and then add fresh mint. It's good enough for an after work cocktail in the summer!

Jenn said...

You now have my dreaming of mojitos in an elementary school. I'm not sure that this is okay :)
VERY ready for some Thursday drinking! And a weekend of relaxation!

I love mojitos!! I had some great ones down in Miami last week on my Spring Break. Thanks for making me miss the sunshine and care-free life even more.

Suze said...

Amber said...

Mojitos are my fave, and very light for spring!

Ashley said...

I'm not a mojito fan -- it weirds me out that it tastes like mint lol =)

OceanDreams said...

i'm having a HUGE giveaway (flat iron and more) giveaway at my blog if you have time to stop by.

hope your gma is doing better, xo!

I've never tried this drink, but it sounds (and looks) rather delicious. I'm a Sake kind of girl, personally. I love it hot or chilled (better chilled, I think).

My boyfriend loves mojitos, but me-not so much. I like a simple vodka 7 (vodka and 7 up with lime) or a pitcher of sangria in the summer! Mmm refreshing.
