A Mojito Built For Speed...

I know what you might be thinking. A mojito built for speed? Yes, with a little preparation even those drinks that take four minutes to make and two minutes to enjoy can be whipped up on the highest volume of days with ease.

When the 10 day forecast calls for a high of 90 degrees, low of 80 degrees and you live in south Florida, doesn't a mojito strike a chord in the heart for a cocktail deserved? Now, lets add the refreshing quality of a cool piece of watermelon, and now we have something to help battle the heat and humidity.
