Mojito

I fancied something different to drink... something alcoholic of course and was very excited when I saw this cocktail over at My Tasty Treasures. I just knew that I had to try it ~ thanks Donna.

While I must say it was delicious and would be very refreshing on a hot summers day there is no way that you could drink too many of them..... but we will see how I go.. wink wink!!
