Nectarine Chili Mojito from HeatherChristo.com

I hope that you all are getting ready for a wonderful Independence day and that you were are to celebrate with your friends and family!!

Is it sort of obscene to post a cocktail on a Monday? Well, sorry/not sorry. I’m flying home from Europe as this posts and I have been enjoying an afternoon cocktail quite a bit these last few weeks- even on Mondays. And despite the fact that I have reality awaiting me later today, I figured that most of you are on an extended holiday weekend and would enjoy a boozy treat today.

Welcome to mojito time….

One of my favorite cocktails of all time and this time we are spicing thing up (literally) with Nectarines and red chili!

You still get the traditional flavors of refreshing mint, brown sugar and tart fresh lime juice, but I have added ripe, juicy nectarines and spicy red chili too. Oh, and rum, obviously.

These are the perfect thing to whip up this weekend and I would serve them with an appetizer like this, this or this!
