Happy Hour - Blood Orange Mojito Cocktail

In honor of this weekend's baseball game vs. Clemson, we thought this 'bloody orange' cocktail was very appropriate. :) Enjoy!

San Pellegrino Blood Orange Mojitos

Ingredients:
2 1/2 ounces light rum
4 ounces San Pellegrino Limonata
1 1/2 ounces simple syrup
2 blood oranges, cut in wedges
A handful of mint leaves
Sugar

Directions: In a large bowl, combine blood orange wedges, mint leaves and a light sprinkle of sugar. Muddle all the ingredients together until most of the juice is extracted and the mint leaves are bruised. Distribute muddled oranges and mint leaves between two glasses. Fill with ice. Add rum, simple syrup and San Pellegrino Limonata. Stir and serve immediately. **Drink responsibly...

TIP: For fancier ice cubes, freeze 1 part San Pellegrino Limonata and 1 part orange juice. Drop one segmented wedge of blood orange in each mold. Allow freezing time before serving your cocktails.
