I remember when I tried my first Mojito and I thought that I had found my signature drink. Oh fickled taste buds, the love affair didn't last. Somehow I returned to my Gin and Tonic and wondered if I would find a signature drink that I wouldn't stray from. Well, this weekend, I will try to make Raspberry Mojitos which may in fact be my drink for the summer and hopefully a hit at many housewarmings, game nights and more. I am always excited to try something new and this drink recipe and many others, are available on Cocktail Times which is my go to place for the best drinks and meals that you would want to incorporate into a future function! So if this drink doesn't hit the spot, there are plenty of other ones that you will love making as you begin to play bartender! I love that this recipe is simple and that there are so many fresh ingredients as well.

Nothing is better than having favorite places but it's a lot more fun when you can share it with others and know that they love it too! Case in point, this week I have shared two places with my boyfriend - Jackson Hole (I love eating there although once I do, I tend to wait awhile before I enjoy another 7 oz hamburger) and Cafeteria! After a long weekend of looking for condos, we decided that we needed to relax and thanks to the rain that added to our weariness (and my drowsiness), I was in need of amazing food with a fun atmosphere! As we drove uptown I suggested Cafeteria. I have always been a fan of this 24/7 restaurant which reminds me of SoBe with a lot of love and comfort in pretty packaging. And as my bf enjoyed Chicken and Waffles and I munched on my Cobb Salad and shared out Fried Green Tomatoes, I was thrilled that just like he loved my hamburger place, he liked this one as well! With a nice vibe as always and food that leaves you feeling full and kudos to the much needed Guava Mojito - yesterday was definitely elevated to a fun day with a happy ending!
