Today I am looking forward to sharing my recipe with you for the perfect mojito that I have created. Splendidly Homemade Magazine is a beautifully designed magazine filled with great tutorials and pictures showcasing some amazing bloggers crafting and sharing their recipes for the perfect summer.
I had a blast contributing to their last issue with my Peppermint Cheesecakes in a Jar for the holiday season. When I was asked to create a fun summer drink, I knew the perfect drink to share with their readers. After all, what says summer more than sipping a mojito?
The inspiration for this issue happened to come from a trip to Miami I got to do in May with ALDI Supermarket. After working and networking throughout the day, I could not wait to plop into a chair and sip a mojito in the sunshine. When I received the tab for my first mojito of the afternoon, I almost fell over at the $18 bill. You can bet, I made the most of my drink and kept thinking how I couldn’t wait to replicate this drink on my frugal budget.
As soon as I got home, I set to creating the perfect mojito that you can enjoy right in your very own backyard. If you have a garden, these mojitos are the perfect way to use up some of your mint. It also happens to be the perfect summer drink to entertain with and cost pennies to create at home!
There is so much in this issue including how to dress your home up with Hampton style on a thrift store budget, how to create the perfect s’more push pop, make black raspberry chocolate chunk ice cream, and create a fun summer sewing project.
To view my recipe for the perfect mojito, head on over to take a peek at the latest issue of Splendidly Homemade! It is available for free online and a Kindle version of this is available for a mere, $.99 cents. Give them a Like on Facebook and follow their latest news on Twitter.

I love mojitos! I often make fruity versions by adding a bit of fresh fruit and/or juice. Or even add some ginger to your simple syrup (and then strain out) to make it ginger infused. YUM!

I found it at Target! It is an Assets suit so it has the spanx built into it. I had a hard time finding a cute, modest suit, but am thrilled with this one!

Amy I love your swim dress – - I tried the exact one on at Target the other day and now I wish I’d bought it! You look great!
I love mojitos but have never attempted to make them myself so am glad to have this recipe. Loved the e-magazine, especially the Hampton Style pics – - I was a nanny in East Hampton many moons ago and the article captures the surroundings perfectly. Great post – - thank you!!
