M is for Mojitos

A True Love of Mine: Mojitos
It’s no secret, Mondays are The Worst. Unless its holidays. Then Mondays are pretty much just like every other day of the week. But seeing as we are in the midst of Term 2, we revert to the rule that Mondays are The Worst. Which, I think, is why the Cubans invented Mojitos. I know that its more of a summer drink (if you’re in the northern hemisphere right now then this would be perfect!) but I think that lime, mint and rum are a welcome combination at any time of the year.

I had just been on a day trip to the Southern Highlands where I picked up another jar of Lemon Curd and needed to use it stat.
