Holiday Special Treat #2

CANDY CANE MOJITOS

Who doesn't want a great drink along with their delicious meal? Well, I LOVE a nice cold cocktail for special occasions. There is nothing like a mojito that not only taste good but smells awesome as well.
Try this fabulous drink inspired by the most popular candy during the winter holidays (peppermint candy canes)!!

Super easy to make and prepare in ten minutes flat. This drink is for two people only so add more ingredients as needed for a larger group.
