Pineapple Mint Mojito – twist on a classic cocktail!
Did you catch the bright yellow juice in my summertime soiree? It wasn’t orange juice for mimosas! HAH! Tricked you. It was pineapple juice waiting to be made into my popular pineapple mint mojitos. I can honestly say all of my friends love this drink. It is quick to pull together, refreshing and more flavorful than a classic mojito. The pineapple elevates the mint and creates a new, favorite cocktail! To be honest, this post has been a year in the making and I finally sat down to write it. So there is definitely two sets of pictures – but they are beautiful and I’m excited to share them with you! ????
I have honestly tried to find a link for this rattan cocktail shaker to share with you guys – but it is sold out everywhere! The table runner is from Pottery Barn and its perfect for summer entertaining!
Last summer these Trader Joe’s peonies completely stole the show! They were so gorgeous and I can’t wait to get more this year! Do you love peonies?
These recycled glasses are our FAVORITE. We have a tall set and short set. They are sturdy, easy to hold and make drinks look tasty!
Curious George…er, I mean Max over here… LOL! Boxers are the most curious dogs. He always has to know what is going on. Which is why you regularly see him in my photos. ???? We photographed these pictures on our screened porch and still love the decor picks we have out there.
And what you’ve all been waiting for….. the recipe!!
