The Mojito, Paperback

CELEBRATE THE MOJITO This book features everything you need to know to make a favorite Caribbean cocktail that has won a place in bars and eateries across the globe.

The basic elements are simple--rum, lime, mint, sugar, and club soda. Food writer Heather McPherson shows how to add and swap ingredients to create flavor-packed variations for every occasion, including a spicy mango mojito with jalape os, an exotic basil lychee mojito, a sweet and savory peach and rosemary mojito, and even a hot mojito tea.

And it's more than just a drink. Readers will enjoy recipes for sensational dinners and desserts too, including mojito grilled shrimp salad, mojito strip steak with pico de gallo, cheesecake, cookies, and sugar-kissed meringues.

Transforming an irresistible drink in delightful ways, McPherson invites readers to juice a lime, muddle some mint, and have fun with these creative recipes at home.
