"And the name's not Rebbecca's mom, it's Deborah. I'm a work in progress, a voracious book on tape listener, and a staunch believer that if you get dealt lemons in life then you should make lemon lavender mojitos." - Deborah, Rebecca's mom
Our version of the lemon lavender mojito is a tall glass of sweet and sour deliciousness, and it's pretty impressive to look at too! Using the butterfly pea flower gives it a beautiful blue color which turns to lavender when stirred into the limoncello. It will definitely be a crowd pleaser!
