It doesn't have to be sunny outside to enjoy a refreshing mojito...
We’ve finally made it to summer but it appears the weather is yet to get the memo.
In normal circumstances, with day after day of constant rain and cloudy skies - you would be straight onto Google to look up cheap flights so you could escape to the sun. But thanks to COVID-19, hopping on a plane and travelling to a foreign country is out of the question - for now, at least.
Instead, we're having to come up with new ways to make it feel like summer at home and while margaritas and rosé are right up there on the list of summer drinks you can sip at home, we think there is nothing more summery than a classic mojito.
So, we asked the experts over at Bacardi to discover what it takes to whip up the delicious beverage at home. We promise this drink is the ultimate summer sipper—enjoy!
