Emerald Mojito
- Details
We’ve mixed some Mojito magic here using a simple syrup made with our Emerald Mist tea! Peppermint and spearmint are the main flavors in the syrup, along with with licorice, cloves, and ginger. Combined with fresh lime to make it a Mojito, this drink is delicious virgin or classically spiked with rum. Kick back and enjoy it on a hot summer day. Don’t feel up for that much mixology? Emerald Mist makes a fantastic iced tea for summer all on it’s own.
