Pomegranate Mojito
I just love summer and warm sunny happy hours! This week I’ve created the popular Mojito rum cocktail with a twist, Pomegranate Mojito. I’m always looking to make my beverages nutritious and in my mind pomegranate juice qualifies as a power food addition! One of the oldest known fruits, the pomegranate is an amazing nutrient-dense and antioxidant-rich fruit. Cheers to happy hour and a nutritious Mojito!
Originating in the city of Havana on the island of Cuba, the Mojito became internationally popular when the renowned writer Ernest Hemingway took a liking to the drink while visiting a local Cuban bar. He then began drinking the cocktail when he returned to Key West in the states and its popularity took off!
