This week’s happy hour is an excellent recommendation from my friend erik. After seeing my post on vanilla sugar earlier this week, he clued me in on a recipe for pomegranate mojitos that’s pretty dang tasty. And I have to say, sometimes I get really frustrated with mixing drinks that seem fancy, but this one was easy and came out tasting delightful. Maybe that’s because I made Aaron use his muscles and muddle the mint, but whatever the case, this is definitely worth trying out.

Cheers! To good friends and and a great weekend!
