mojto time!

I got a taste for mojitos while in Japan. I'm not really a big mint fan, so it really doesn't make a lot of sense. When I make mine at home, I tend to cut way back on the mint, using only a sprig or two. This week, I tried two "new" types: blueberry and pineapple. Yummy!

Some mojito fans may call me uncivilized for messing with this drink...but I can't help it! I like what I like. Besides pineapple and blueberry (pineapple was my favorite), I think strawberry or raspberry would be delicious.
