Weekend-Engagement WEEK #168: My favorite drink, citrus cocktails 🍷
What is your favorite drink when you go out and why?
The mojito is a classic drink but it is still delicious, with the right technique (because I have tried some that leave a lot to talk about) but other than that, let's say it is one of my favorites. I've tried them with lemon, also with parchita...between those two I prefer lemon mojitos.
Since I was a little girl I have loved citrus fruits, I enjoy a cold lemonade on hot days like never before. The mix between lemon, mint and a touch of rum for me is perfect in a cocktail... I like to take my time to enjoy it while sharing a nice time with friends, with 2 glasses is enough for me (For health reasons, I can not drink alcohol with high amounts of sugar as it is harmful not only for the liver but also for the joints).
Now, doing a little research about this famous drink...
It is said that the invention of this delicious cocktail was in the 16th century by one of the most famous English pirates of his time, Francis Drake.
The initial combination of the mojito, known at that time as "Draque", mixed "tafia" (which was a cane brandy, predecessor of rum), sugar, lime and mint, being a common remedy for stomach ailments, to fight cholera and scurvy that plagued the crews on the high seas at that time. The origin of the current mojito dates back to 1910 in La Concha Beach in Cuba, where it was created by a Spanish descendant who prepared it in a bar for aristocrats.
There are more than 50 different ways to prepare a good mojito, however, for me nothing will beat the original, the lemon mojito with the perfect amount of mint.
So much for my weekend post, reminding you of the importance of moderating alcoholic beverages, you can enjoy your favorite drink on special occasions always keeping in mind that our health is paramount. Thanks for reading, I hope you have a nice evening.

I don't think I've tried this combination in drinks, but as you describe it, it must be divine, I'm not the type of woman who drinks alcohol in quantities either, but from time to time it's nice to share with friends, especially if it's with a favorite drink, regards
I recommend it, I'm sure you'll like it. And yes, nothing like enjoying a healthy drink, a couple of your favorite drinks but with the most valuable thing being your favorite people. 💗 Thank you very much for your comment, have a nice day.

The mojito is a very delicious drink, the combination of mint with the flavor of lemon is exquisite, but it also seems to me to be a very sweet drink so it makes you sick quickly, I have never had the opportunity to drink a passion fruit mojito, it must taste amazing .
I agree with you Daniel, that's why it is ideal only for special occasions. I recommend you try the passion fruit one day, it is very tasty. Thank you for your comment, have a happy afternoon.
