Last weekend I made mojitos for some summer fun summer sipping on the porch, and I almost forgot a main ingredient(simple syrup). I had to actually go back and look up the recipe. Which got me to thinking maybe I should share some summer sips recipes with you.
So, take a glance, grab a glass, and start sippin’
We’ll start with my mojito

One of the easiest drinks to make. But fresh mint makes all the difference! I’m lucky to have a friend with mint in her garden.
Ingredients
- 2 oz White rum
- 3 Mint leaves
- 3/4 oz Fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz Simple syrup
- Club soda, to top
- Garnish: Mint sprig
- Garnish: Lime wheel
Lightly muddle the mint in a shaker. Add the rum, lime juice, simple syrup, ice and shake it for a few seconds. Strain into a highball glass over fresh ice. Top it with the club soda and garnish with a lime wheel and fresh mint sprig. Tah-dah!
Now take a look at these amazing drinks and recipes, some of which are kid friendly.
