The weather is really starting to warm up here and we are enjoying more and more time out on the deck. More time outside usually means more yummy cocktails being mixed in our house!
One of our local restaurants makes an Italian mojito and it is my favorite. At home, I decided to try my own and concocted this Raspberry Italian mojito.
This drink gets the perfect amount of fizz thanks to prosecco. It is the perfect combination of fresh fruit, mint and fizz. Multiply the recipe and make a pitcher or make it by the glass when you want a yummy cocktail on a warm, summer night.
