Green Tea Mojito and Cherry Limeade


It's hot out there, and as much as I like Sonic's Route 66 drinks, sometimes you gotta make your own. Pst, it tastes better.


Green Tea Mojito

1 serving of green tea, cold
Fresh mint
1 cup crushed ice
1 tbsp simple syrup or honey
1/4 lime

Squeeze juice of lime into cup and add used lime wedges. Add crushed ice, mint and simple syrup. Muddle to mix flavors. Add green tea. Garnish with lime.


Cherry Limeade

6 fresh cherries, pitted
1 tbsp grenadine 
1 cup crushed ice
1/2 lime
Water

Squeeze juice of lime into cup and add used lime wedges. Add crushed ice, pitted cherries and grenadine. Muddle to mix flavors. Add water. Garnish with lime.



I'm obsessed with flavored drinks this season. Arnold Palmers, ginger lemonades, sangria... All of it. Hope this gives you a little inspiration for your next Summer drink. Enjoy the heat everyone!
