I've recently discovered I like mojitos and this is no exception. I used bottled lime juice and regular white rum per what I had on hand. I also prefer Diet 7up to club soda. CHEERS Alycia! Read More

Yummy! Followed the recipe but I didn't have club soda so I used tonic water and squeezed half a lime in each glass with lots of crushed fresh lime from my garden. So so good! Read More
