Refreshing Virgin Mojito (with Alcohol Option)
Summer is drink season, which means I will be sipping on mojito's until further notice. I prefer mine as a mocktail, but you can easily add some alcohol to this recipe! It's super easy to make, requires just a handful of ingredients and 5 minutes of your time. You will fall in love with this drink recipe, and will want to be sipping these by the pool any change you can get.
