With New Year’s Eve approaching, it’s a good idea to add some new drink recipes to your catalog for the purposes of entertaining. One drink that has become quite popular as of late is the mojito. A mojito is a blend of lime and mint flavors in a refreshing beverage. While it is traditionally thought of as a warm-weather drink, the hints of green from the mint and lime make it a festive drink for this time of year as well.
