Tangerine Mojito

When our mint starts to go crazy we start thinking of recipes to put it to use. Besides our Thai   Mint Chicken salad (Larb Gai) we most often start concocting different versions of mojitos like this citrusy Tangerine Mojito to make use of this delicious herb.

This is a refreshing perfect for summer cocktail at our home.

We encourage you to make one to enjoy this summer.
