I remember at the beginning of the summer I was all ambitious and I tried to grow my own mint so I could make peach mojitos – one of my favorite drinks. Boy did I fail, because I did not make a single one. Thanks for the reminder. It's not too late yet!

With the heat we are having where I live, this will go down nicely. I love a good mojito but the pineapple is a wonderful addition.

What? Jeez Louis, how the heck did I miss this post, Velva?! I saw a \”mixologist\” make a mojito on TV muddling everything in the bottom of the glass WITH the ice! It worked well cuz it added a bit of water to the cocktail from the crushed ice and most likely really chilled the cocktail. By the way, if you want to make mojitos, I suggest you invest in a muddler, a spoon (as the recipe suggests) does not work. It cuts into the fruit and mint and is ineffective. Wooden muddlers are about $7, don't get metal.Wish we lived closer, me likey your cocktail hour!
