Cherry Lime Mojito – very simple to make, sweet and refreshing.
Hi guys!
Happy Monday!
Today I want to introduce you to the newest addition of my “mojito collection”!
By now, you most likely already know I love mojitos! And cherries are in season, which is great.
And more important – I was able to find some dark red ripe cherries (I’ve been tired from buying cherries, that are not ripe).
So I decided to make cherry mojitos.
This is a recipe, I would typically post on a Friday.
Because it is a holiday week, I decided to post it today, so you guys can make it for 4th of July.
Cherry and lime is one of my favorite combinations.
I also grow mint in my garden, so making this mojitos was so simple! I also used simple syrup, which is my little secret for the perfect mojito.
This drink could easily be made in a pitcher and served at a party.
This cherry lime mojito is my new favorite summer cocktail.

This sounds SO incredibly refreshing and delicious, Mira!!!! I love the color too 🙂 I’m eating breakfast and sipping on water right now but wish it was this, ha!! So perfect for a hot summer’s day! Pinning!
