Make this refreshing Raspberry Lime Mojito with Spindrift real squeezed fruit sparkling water. Add a splash of vodka or rum to make it an adult-worthy beverage.
Sooo…our AC unit went out this weekend. I mean, it was really only a matter of time. The unit is as old as hour house, 14 years, so according to the professionals, we’ve long surpassed traditional HVAC expiration dates of 9-11 years.
However, no matter how you frame it, unloading a bunch of cash into a new AC system is not my favorite way to spend money and of course, it happens when temperatures in Austin begin to peak.
Hello Summer!
While <3M and I are gathering quotes for a new AC unit, I’ve been keeping cool with a variety pack of sparkling waters sent to me by Spindrift. Inspired by the lack of AC & real squeezed fruit flavors of Spindrift, I’ve been mixing up a mocktail to help keep <3M and I cool. While my Raspberry Lime Mojito is virgin, I’m pretty sure it would be quite tasty with a splash of rum or vodka (probably something I’ll be adding once the angry heat sweats sink in.)
This mojito features Spindrift Lime but would also work well with the Spindrift Raspberry Lime. What I love about Spindrift is that it’s sparkling water made with real squeezed fruit. Unlike the other guys, this stuff is tasty, delicious, and you can tell it’s made with real fruit because the sparkling water actually is tinted from the real fruit flavorings. The pink of the Raspberry Lime Spindrift is just plain pretty.
So, if you’re looking for a way to keep cool this summer, try out this recipe for a Raspberry Lime Mojito. Hopefully, you’re enjoying your’s by the pool instead of sweating it out inside like <3M and I.
