Sometimes you just can't wait for summer, and with raspberries stocked on every supermarket shelf, there's no need to! This colorful cocktail is a twist on a classic Cuban highball; Ernest Hemingway made La Bodeguita del Medio famous when he professed his love for their mojito, although to be honest, I much prefer John's!Raspberry Mojito
1 1/2 oz of white rum
1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice
3 sprigs of fresh mint
2 teaspoons of sugar
8 raspberries
soda water
In a Collins glass, muddle mint, raspberry and sugar until well-mixed and fragrant. Add rum and lime juice; stir well. Add a generous handful of ice, then top with soda water. Add a few berries and a sprig of mint to garnish.

This sounds so good. Especially because we've been watching Dexter and all I want to do is eat Cuban and salsa dance.
Happy Weekend!

i simply cannot wait until i can sip on mojitos in the summer sunshine again!
I appreciate all the pink going on in your last six posts! I think this drink is just the thing to turn our Saturday snow storm into a summery siesta (you should take a peek at my post this afternoon ;))xo
I must say that after this week a mojito sounds wonderful. And hel-lo to the Jackie pics below. She is one of my all-time faves. Epitome of class!
Happy weekend!

that drink looks like summer and sunshine and I could use some of both. :)
Will I like this if I'm not fond of regular mojitios? I always want to like them and never end up finishing one when it's in front of me. I'm going to live on the wild side tomorrow and order a drink at brunch (before noon, oh boy!). I feel like you'd be proud.
Positively delicious! We'll be trying out this recipe for sure! Have a lovely weekend!
Sounds great! I have to try it, I love both mojitos and raspberries but have never thought of combining the two before :)

You know, I don't really like mojitos. But this recipe I might.
A drink after my own heart! Mojito's were the theme of our honeymoon & became our sweet kitty's name :) Hurry snow & melt so my mint can grow!!
