Refreshingly tart is the best way to describe this homemade cocktail. You get amazing flavor from the fresh Mint and raspberries. A mint mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail made with mint lime and white rum. Adding some fresh fruit like this Raspberry Mint Mojito brings it to the next level.
I really love to serve drinks in mason jars. It just a nice sized glass that is easy to hold and easy to drink from. Some will call it rustic but there is a reason people have been drinking from mason jars for a long long while. Also.. hard not to mention that they are pretty durable as well.
Suggestions for Sides:
The sweet tartness of this cocktail goes really well with an entree salad with lots of peppery arugula and some goat cheese. I would also suggest some grilled Shrimps or grilled chicken breast.
Tools that may make this recipe easier:
You are going to want to add a true cocktail muddler to your kitchen drawer if you are going to be making cocktails and even mocktails at home. I like one that had a textured edge on one end (like a meat tenderizer) and a smooth end. This allows you to be morr aggressive or gentle depending on what you need.
