This cocktail combines fresh pineapple, rum, and lots of mint for a fruity refresher.

Happy Friday! Any fun plans for the weekend? National Rum Day is in two days and nothing captures the celebration and spirit of the holiday quite like a mojito…or two. ;)

I wanted to put a spin on the classic mojito by throwing some fresh pineapple into the mix. Fresh, light, and perfectly tart — this is a refreshing summer cocktail sure to satisfy the rum lovers out there. Enjoy!
