Yum! I am a lover of the real mojito. Making it with sugar not simple syrup which help the muddling. So using the brown sugar was a nice treat! I used almost a whole lime. When I went to our liquor locker I was amazed to find the rum all gone. So I used tequila resulting in a really wonderful drink! The last of the drink tasted like melon. Thanks!

This was a refreshing drink. I wish that I had made this with an organic cucumber or at least one from my garden. I think mine was a little bitter which altered the drink a lot. This is full of great ingredients and chock full of healthy ones too! Would definitely make again! Thanks for sharing JB *Made for This Round's On ME- Beverage Forum*
