I can’t think of a more refreshing cocktail than the mojito. Ā The Cubans knew what they were doing….I guess it was out of desperation since it’s as hot as cake balls down there. Ā Well, cake balls are not hot but my point is it’s hotter than here and I complainĀ Ā talk about the temperature here a lot….especially when it’s humid. Ā I have bad humidity hair. Ā Like Monica from Friends. Ā My hair is pin straight unless there’s a slight amount of moisture in the air and then it’s not straight. Ā Or curly…it’s, I can’t even explain it.

Back to the mojitos….if I went to Cuba, my hair would be big. Ā And about 4 inches shorter. Ā I would need a few mojitos to forget about the bad hair I was sporting on top of my head. Ā Mojitos are minty and fizzy and sweet and limey. So, sooooo good. Ā It’s 7:30 am and I could go for one right now. Ā I love fruity mojitos which I’m not sure is truly a Cuban thing but let’s go with it. Ā Popsicles are probably not what they had in mind either.

I love all things blueberries and so….I put them in my popsicles. Ā You know what else I did….or didn’t do….I didn’t add refined sugar. Ā I used agave nectar! Ā Which I love. Ā If you don’t love it, you can use honey or coconut sugar or any other sweetener you’d like. Ā It’s your popsicle.
