Two readers love this post.
Today I wanted to focus on another spring recipe that could also be used for spring entertaining. The weather in Seattle has been amazing and I have been craving tropical drinks. The mojito is one of my favorite cocktails to drink on vacation. When I was in Barcelona I had the most amazing mojitos the balance of ingredients was spot on and the crushed ice made the drink. This recipe is a spin on the classic mojito because it contains strawberries and rhubarb. The strawberry and rhubarb in this drink provides a tangy yet sweet boozy drink. I like this drink because it makes me feel like I am on vacation. It’s also a special treat because it is so pretty with the fresh strawberries and mint leaves. Make this mojito today and transport yourself somewhere dreamy!
