Mallory GreenhamSummer is officially here! Time to break out your shorts, your shades, and grab a nice cool and refreshing drink. After a winter spent dreaming of sunshine and blue skies, I have never been more ready to soak up some Vitamin D. Summer days also have me fantasizing about a nice, cool, refreshing mojito. Slightly sweet, super refreshing, you will be feeling fine and fancy free. It is super light, so it is great for those hot and sticky summer days. So drink up, but don’t forget the sunscreen!
