Leprechaun Mojito

One of my favorite cocktails is the Mojito. I love the spark fresh mint and limes brings to a cocktail.

As I was trying to think of a St. Patrick’s Day cocktail to share with you I thought, why not take the basics of a mojito and switch up the sprit?

The crazy daydreamer in me decided to give the mojito an Irish twist with one of my favorite Irish Whiskeys, Jameson. Hence the “Leprechaun Mojito”.

It’s smoooooooooth…
