Elderflower mojito cocktail
Cheers to the first cocktail recipe on jernejkitchen.com, but that doesn't mean it's our first cocktail ever. Actually we decided to really go for cocktails this summer, trying out all sorts of combinations and we finally came to some pretty exciting recipes. One of our all time favorites cocktails is mojito. Its freshness and lightness is just the best. We played around a bit and added elderflower cordial, because it complements the flavors amazingly. Refreshing, super easy to make and oh, so good!
