Summer = cocktails for me. Last year, I was breastfeeding and didn’t drink a single mojito. My daughter is now weaned and I take advantage of it. Mojitos are so easy to make, I love it. It is really expensive when you drink it in a bar sooooooo, do it yourself!

This is a mango mojito, fancy right ? I made mine with mint leaves I grew on my window and I’m so proud! I had cherry tomatoes too but they didn’t make it that far apparently, sad.
I use club soda instead of just sparkling water because I like my cocktails sweet.

In fact, it is a traditional mojito with mango purée. Basically I took canned mangoes and put it in the blender. But you can use fresh mangoes or mango nectar, it is delicious too.
Make it a mocktail (without alcohol) if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding OR don’t drink alcohol.
