Cheers to a great St. Patrick’s Day and a wonderful weekend to everyone!

Here is a new mojito recipe that I am going to have to try!

**To make the garnish, cut a shamrock from a slice of cucumber skin using a shamrock cookie cutter.

2 sprigs fresh mint
cucumber slices
2 teaspoons superfine sugar

1 Tbsp rum (optional)
Cucumber skin “shamrock,” for garnish

Directions:
Place lime, mint, cucumber slices, and sugar in a tumbler or highball glass and muddle. Add ice to glass; pour honeydew melon juice over ice. Top with club soda or flavored carbonated drink. Stir and serve immediately garnished with cucumber  ”shamrock.”
