This light and refreshing Grapefruit Basil Mojito is sure to hit the spot on a hot Summer day. Made with light rum, grapefruit juice, lime juice, basil, and agave syrup.
Mojitos have been my latest go-to cocktail. My favorite so far is the Tangerine Mojito, which is dangerously good. It is light and refreshing, and dangerous in that you forget you are drinking alcohol.
This Grapefruit Basil Mojito is light and refreshing as well. I used basil instead of mint, which pairs nicely with grapefruit.
Whenever you eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice, make sure you check if your medication can have an adverse reaction. I stayed away from grapefruit for years because I was concerned it made my birth control pills less potent. I did my research, and found it was safe, and recommend that you do the same.
There are many ways to make mojitos, and using grapefruit is just one variation.
