I know I said last week that I’d share a couple of salad recipes for these extremely hot and humid days ahead but this cocktail is practically a salad and is certainly refreshing! We made these play-on-mojitos on Saturday night while I tested a couple hot dog recipes, fried some fresh zucchini from the market and roasted fresh Goat Lady CSA beets for a salad with stilton. We made these “Phojitos” using Thai Mint and Basil from the Super G Mart.  A couple of years ago I grew my own Thai Basil and it was extremely successful in a sunny spot – if you’re so interested.

Nothing says summer like a mojito and this was a nice change that paired well with the menu. Give it a try next time you’re enjoying the grill outside!

!Phojitos!
