Planning a summer party soon? Or are your friends coming over for a round of board games? Whatever the occasion, drinks are a must in the sweltering heat. However, you don’t have to serve packaged juices and canned beverages when there are some really simple yet delicious drinks that you can actually whip up in minutes.
Pineapple mojito
This recipe is for a non-alcoholic pineapple mojito prepared using fresh pineapples and grape juice. If you want an alcoholic version of this drink, simply add 30 ml rum to the final drink and give it a good stir before serving. Both taste equally good.
