Travel Through Cocktails

Travel and cocktail parties might be on hold, but I’d be willing to bet that we all could use a little bit of liquid refreshment. Why not create your own favorite cocktail at home! 

While sheltering in place, I decided I would try my hand at making a Mojito - my go-to cocktail. 

I am delighted to share with you the recipe that I have been enjoying along with refreshments inspired by some of the most popular bars on the high seas! 

Here’s your challenge: Try all three and let me know which one wins!
