There is the most gorgeous Rhubarb in the stores and the farmers markets right now! I planted some in my garden, but it is not quite what I would call bountiful right now. In fact, it’s looking a little sad. (Anyone have rhubarb gardening tips?)

Rhubarb Mojitos

Anyways, I practically bought a bushel of rhubarb I love it so much and when I had a few stalks left over, I decided to make a drink just for you! Rhubarb Mojitos. Sweet, sour, minty and refreshing. SO GOOD.

Rhubarb Mojitos

With Mother’s Day around the corner, and lots of other fun Spring events coming up, it is always good to have a pretty (and delicious) seasonal cocktail in your arsenal!
