Simple dragon fruit mojito

Mojito is simply made with fresh mint leaves, limes, a pinch of sugar, rum and carbonated water. Peppermint and lime are blended together to extract the essence and give the cocktail a fresh flavor. Light and refreshing. Although delicious in itself, mojito can easily be added to a variety of fruits and condiments such as dragon fruit, making it a versatile drink that can be enjoyed all summer long!

Can we talk about its bright colors?! Mojito is mixed with red dragon fruit with a gorgeous magenta hue. Not only does it exude the scent of a summer sunset when served, but it also has a mild tropical flavour of kiwifruit that pairs perfectly with limes and garden mint.
