ORANGE MOJITO RECIPE

This is the ultimate summer cocktail because it’s easy, fun, tasty, and it looks like sunshine!

The classic mojito consists of white rum, sugar cane juice, mint, lime juice, and soda water. There are different stories about the exact origination of the mojito, but the common denominators are that it started in the Caribbean where sugar cane, rum, and mint are plentiful.

With that said, if you don’t like rum you can substitute vodka, tequila, or gin. No, it won’t be classic but does it really matter if you enjoy it?
