Coconut Mango Mojito [from the kitchen]

Everyone keeps saying summer is almost over. And I guess it is when you consider the start of the school year. But – at least in Oklahoma – the hot weather is going to be hanging around for a while yet.

I guess what I’m saying is there’s still plenty of time to enjoy a cold drink on a hot day.

And I have just the one you should try.

Coconut Mango Mojito

1 mango, diced
10 mint leaves
3 tsp. sugar

Muddle those together. I’m classy and use a GNC shake bottle and the end of a plastic ladle. 

1/4 Bacardi Rum
8 ice cubes

Add these to your shaker…or your GNC bottle…and shake well. Pour over ice into two glasses. 

1 can coconut La Croix

Add the La Croix to each glass until full. The straw is optional. 

Voila! A cool drink for a hot day!
