Trio of Mojitos

by 23 Comments

I went for a run outside today. {Your eyes are rolling, I get it…}

But seriously! The snow has melted, the New England weather wasn’t freezing and it was still sunny by the time I got home from work. Ahhh! {sigh} It’s the little things. Baby steps. Spring is right around the corner and I can taste summertime already!

And ya wanna know what that tastes like?

Mojitos. Mmmm hmmm. After last week’s vacation to Key West, where I indulged and enjoyed a couple of mojitos by the pool, I immediately came up with a few {three!} new variations that I ab.so.lute.ly plan on enjoying on the lake this summer.

Except I can’t wait for summer…and made the recipes a few days back. And am sharing them today. Fully aware that it is still, technically, winter. Minor detail. Let’s just call it planning ahead.

Trio of Mojitos

Speaking of planning ahead, sometimes when writing down your list of errands, ever wish that everything that you need could just be delivered? At the touch of a button?

Well, Drizly has that covered for you. Yes, you read that right. If you live in or around one of the 28 cities that they’re currently serving, you can order all of your cocktail needs and they’ll be delivered…to your door…with the click of a button. How amazing is that and where have they been all of my life?

So, between the discovery of Drizly and my runs moving outdoors, I’d say winter is finishing on a high note. {And I still can’t wait for summer.} {Seriously.}

*Note, I made mine in mason jars; planning to make them portable for the days on the lake. You can easily adjust the preparation using glasses and a shaker!
