Blood Orange Mojito Monday

Monday, May 09, 2016


Cinco de Mayo may have come and gone, but that doesn't mean you can't continue the celebrations all summer long with some Mexi-inspired cocktails! While Mondays may be best known for their friendship with margaritas, we wanted to try something a bit different and opted for a citrus-spiked mojito that is oh so delicious and refreshing. We just love the deep hue of blood orange paired with the mint - it's as eye catching as it is tasty.





We found this recipe on Chef Saavy and it is indeed a winner!
