Traditional MojitoAlthough the origins of a traditional mojito are difficult to trace, it’s said that it was first developed as a medicinal drink to curb disease on the island of Cuba. Authentic ingredients include cane sugar or cane syrup, spearmint, soda, and white rum. Ingredients make all the difference, but luckily you can find all of these at Tony’s Fresh Market. So, sit back and take in a bit of cocktail history with this tasty traditional mojito. |

Mixed Berry MojitoThe next cocktail recipe blends the sweet refreshing taste of sugar and lime with tart mixed berries. If you are a fan of a little extra tartness in your cocktails, then this recipe is for you. We also love that this cocktail recipe includes a lot of mixed berries. It tastes just as great as it looks in the glass. |

Strawberry MojitoThis recipe tends to be on the sweeter side for a summer cocktail. Mixing in fresh strawberries and then muddling the ingredients together gives this drink a unique flavor. We also recommend this recipe at the height of strawberry seasons (beginning of summer). You get the best of both worlds with sweet strawberries and refreshing mint. |

Kiwi MojitoTo be totally honest, we had no idea what to make of this final cocktail. Contrasting from the tart berries and sweet strawberries, the kiwi tends to mellow out this cocktail. If mojitos aren’t your go-to cocktail, then give this one a try. It’s a refreshing cocktail with less of the “sour” lime taste. |
