Hola, Hola, Hola mi amigo! We’re back from our winter holiday in Cuba and all I can say is Muy Fantasticio! We relaxed for 6 days in 70 degree weather, ate Cuban food, drank plenty of Mojito’s, sharpened our Spanish speaking skills and enlightened our knowledge of the Cuban people and their culture.
I can’t wait to share our day at the beach, shopping in Old Havana, a night of Salsa dancing and our new friends we made while we were there.
I love a good Mojito and I had some of the best in Cuba.
This cocktail has a few simple ingredients but the key is to make sure you muddle the fresh mint perfectly for an authentic Cuban experience. This recipe makes one drink so double the recipe for two.
Don’t forget to check out our latest gift box at our Bath and Body Shop. We just added our Valentine’s special package boxed and ready for your sweetheart. We have a limited supply of this item so be sure and place your orders now.
Until next time,
Enjoy!
