We're into the last month of summer just about, so it's time to enjoy the summer classics before it's too late.
As one would guess by the name of this blog, I'm more of a wine person... but I do like an occasional cocktail. My favorite summer cocktail is the mojito, probably because I love mint leaves. This year I discovered the Bacardi pre-made Mojito in a bottle -- LOVE IT! It sells for about $13 for a 750 ml bottle, it also comes in a big bottle though.
All you really have to do is pour it over ice, but I like to doctor mine up a bit. I add fresh mint leaves and a little bit of lemon/lime sparkling water to lighten it up a little.
I don't find that these go that well with food, so it's definitely a pre-dinner thing.
