Reviews
who doesn’t love white rum and oranges. a satisfying drink for the summer months or some hot tub time.
It would help if there was some peach juice added to this to cut down on the acid of the lime or just don’t add any lime. I said to myself this sounds interesting tried it and it was a burst of citrus acid. Other than that it was pretty good. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/orange-mojito-recipe.html
I needed to use up some mint I had on hand, but I am pretty picky as to what I will eat with mint in it. Tried this recipe, except I used half white rum, half pineapple rum and it was soo delicious. I will make this again and again. Very refreshing and tasty, and a great twist to the standard mojito.

Came home after a 90 plus degree day. Not ready for wine…….had lots of rum left over from a 4th of July party. I used citrus rum and only half of the recommended orange and lime (I like to taste the rum)……………..so very, very, very good and refreshing. I strongly recommend this. Not too sweet, not to sour, but just right on a hot day!!!!! Fabulous. Making for my friends!
