101 cool cocktails for warm-weather fun
In the last few years, the mojito has become a staple cocktail at
summertime parties and bars across the country. This simple mix of
rum, fresh muddled mint leaves, and lime juice served over ice with a
splash of soda is the perfect drink for cooling down on a hot, sunny day.
101 Mojitos and Other Muddled Drinks provides expert guidance
on mixing the perfect mojito, as well as 100 variations and other
muddled drink recipes that focus on fresh ingredients and plenty of
ripe fruit. In addition to mojitos, you'll find caipirinhas,
caipiroskas, crushes, and margaritas as well. In fact, if you've got
fresh fruit of any kind on hand, you'll probably find more than enough
delicious and refreshing ways to use it.
