Mojito Blanco

Lime & Mint. They’re like the PB&J of delicious mixed drinks. I don’t really have to explain this to you, you know.

Make sure you’re using fresh ingredients here. Squeezing limes actually burns more calories then wistfully looking at your unused home exercise equipment. Science.

A few recs:

Use Topo Chico. Just use it. 11/10.

Herradura makes some fantastic tequila. Check them out.

Mojito Blanco

Jeremy Whitelaw

The ultimate drink for those who love mint and lime! This variation on a classic mojito uses a blanco or silver tequila instead of the classic rum.
