Ever since I read Rachel’s post at the internet’s new new, Lolling About, I’ve felt myself being drawn closer and closer to the summer’s first mojito. As Cuba’s signature beverage and a south Florida mainstay, mojitos remind me of sunny beaches and sweaty debauchery. In fact, the drink’s secret weapon is its ability to quench your thirst and cool you off while delivering a near-lethal dose of naughty sauce. By the time you begin to notice your inebriation, it is too late my friend.
I usually make my mojitos by the glass (actually, I usually order them, but Michigan bars aren’t too keen on this divine libation from what I’ve found), but this time I followed the recipe the ladies at Lolling About suggested and made a whole pitcher. DANGEROUS. This stuff is so, so sneaky. Just look at what it did to Jeffrey:
As dangerous it may be, let me tell you friends: this stuff is EFFIN DELICIOUS! Gon’ ahead and make you some!

Thanks, Emily! I adore the glass!!!! Where did you get it?
You’re very welcome! I got this glass at a thrift store in Detroit. My husband has a matching one (the shape) with an old Mountain Dew logo on it. How weird is that? My guess is that they are handmade, but it’s hard to tell.
