Rhubarb Mojitos

Hooray for 4th of July weekend!

Boy, it’s hot. No, I’m not complaining. I promised EVERYONE I wouldn’t complain about the heat.

But when it’s this hot, it’s nice to have a cool and refreshing cocktail.

Rhubarb!

Rhubarb Fresh from the Garden I Finding Silver Pennies

I shared our strawberry rhubarb crumble last week, well, guess what?!? We made some simple syrup with the rhubarb and are loving it mixed in with a classic mojito.

It’s the perfect cocktail on a steaming night after a swim in the sea.

It’s also perfect on a drizzly night (I made these when it was raining).
