To conclude peach week, I considered making peach bellinis or peach sangria, but the idea of fresh mint and sweet peaches proved irresistible. So here’s another spin on a classic mojito: a peach mojito!
This week has worn me out. I’ll be glad to get some rest and spend time with my friend once he gets back to town. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I need this now! Can you fast forward to 5pm and expedite a batch to LA? Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of day drinking, just not while I’m at work. Hope you have a great weekend!
