I love using fresh ingredients during the summer for my cocktails. We have an amazing fruit/plant stand just a couple miles down the road and I will go there often on the weekends to pick up fresh fruit. A couple weekends ago we were in the beginning of berry season so I came home with an entire flat of raspberries. Of course I had to come up with a delicious cocktail for these berries so I decided to utilize the mint from my deck garden and make a mojito!

Fresh Raspberry Mint MojitoThis fresh raspberry mojito is absolutely delicious and PERFECT for summer. The aromas of raspberry and mint add to the flavor and really let the feeling of summer sink in.

Fresh Raspberry Mint MojitoI can’t believe that it is already the end of July. This summer is going by WAY too fast. It seems like just yesterday we were having our Memorial Day BBQ and now we are almost to the end of July! It won’t be long before we’re singing Christmas Carols and buying presents (oh wait, I already am doing that….).

What is your favorite way to enjoy cocktails during the summer?

  2. Mojitos are my go-to cocktail for summertime! :) We have a huge mint plant in our back yard, so I always have fresh mint on hand. And funny enough, I was making a mojito a couple of nights ago & decided to throw some fresh raspberries in there when I was muddling- SO good! #greatmindsthinkalike

  11. I just couldn’t get my mint plant to grow last summer. You have inspired me to try again, I love this mojito with raspberry, and must have fresh mint! I found you at the This is How We Roll Link Up.

  13. Always looking for new drinks using my mojito mint that has a life of its own in my garden.
