Summer might be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean we have to say goodbye to delicious and refreshing cocktails like the classic mojito! Mojitos originated in Cuba and are made with a few simple ingredients that result in one of the most delicious cocktails that are mildly sweet with the perfect balance of tartness from the lime. These easy mojitos are scaled down for two servings, but can very easily be made into a pitcher size for entertaining.
It's Friday, so of course I made you a cocktail again. I have decided that since it's summer and the heat is out of control that the least I can do is make you a refreshing drink every week, I mean that's just the kinda girl I am. And the peaches at the farmer's market right now have been so dang sweet and juicy that I couldn't resist making another cocktail with them. This peach mojito is going to make you very happy and it's the perfect refreshing drink when it's a thousand degrees outside.
I was reading one of my favorite foodie bloggers Heather Christo, when I stumbled upon her nectarine mojito (she has gorgeous cocktails) and I immediately realized that I need to make a peach mojito! Genius. And turns out the flavor combo of peach, lime, mint, and rum is dynamite! The peaches were so sweet, that I only had to add agave to sweeten the drink ever so slightly, which means you don't have to feel bad about drinking more than one...
You're welcome.
By now, maybe you have made my peach and blueberry sangria (if not that's ok you still can), and now you will have to try my peach mojito! It's ready in a jiff, looks super fancy, and is so delicious! Even Canean who isn't a mojito connoisseur like myself, but loves him some peaches, ended up loving this drink!
Listen, make it tonight...make it tomorrow, I don't care as long as you make it!
