Pomegranate Mojito Mocktail Recipe

The days are getting hotter over here in our neck of the woods. We do get rains from time to time as being a tropical country Malaysia, it always rains here. There are two season only here, rainy and summer and each has its own beauty. Summer means we need to keep re-hydrating with drinking plenty of fluids and having light meals as well. When I last went to our local vegetable market, I saw pomegranate, so couldn’t stop myself from picking some for our daily usage. However, I soon realized they are little sour. But I needed to use them anyhow. 

This mojito mocktail recipe comes handy in this case, it’s such a refreshing non-alcoholic drink on a hot summer evening. I really like to unwind myself with a glass of cool pomegranate mojito and a book with me or catch up with dear daughter when she comes back from her school in the evening.
