Summer Mojito Water

You’ll want a pitcher of Summer mojito water in your fridge at all times. An infusion of fresh mint and lime make plain old water so much tastier.

Can you believe it’s already August?  Where does the summer go??  I always start to feel a little panic when we get to this point in the summer.  I’m definitely a warm weather girl and I don’t look forward to cold weather.  But, it is what it is and so I’m trying to savor these last days of summer and spend as much time outside as I can.

I’m also currently savoring summer mojito water.  I mean, when the temperature goes up, you need to make sure you’re staying hydrated and let’s be honest…..plain water is boring.  So I figured, why not take the ingredients that make a mojito so tasty, fresh mint and lime, and infuse some plain old H2O with those awesome fresh flavors.

Summer mojito water would be so delicious and refreshing to serve at one of your late summer backyard barbecues or picnics.  But I warn you, you’ll want to make it by the gallon, because you won’t be able to get enough of it.
