It’s a big hit in our family! When ever we get together they always a#k for these monitors.

Very Very Delish.. although.. i do think my yield was slightly off- because one shaker yielded one mohito.. possibly why I seemed so happy after one class. Either way- It did go down easy.. It was simply.. the ingredients were easy to find.. and as i’ve said.. it tasted DE.LISH!

This one is easy to make, and goes down easy – almost too easy! Tasty and different.

This makes a simple, excellent mojito. I used spearmint with great success.

Served these at a Mavs-watching/Memorial Day get-together last night. Everyone raved about them and wanted the recipe. I grow lots of different types of mints, and I used Candy Mint in this recipe. Dee-lish!!
