Drink of the week: Cucumber Mojito
Thursday, November 13, 2008 at 12:36AM 
One of my all time favorite drinks is a Mojito. Now normally, I wouldn't touch rum as I'm a vodka girl but when you add sugar, lime juice and mint leaves - it's my weak spot. Make one with a sugar cane stick and I'm on cloud nine!
So when I discovered they could make a Mojito in other flavors with infused vodka instead of rum, I had to try them! Cucumber is by far my favorite. It's so crisp and refreshing.
I've enjoyed the best Cucumber Mojitos at Zengo in Denver and at my favorite neighborhood watering hole Glow in San Mateo. In fact, the ones at Glow are so delicious that I need to go there almost every week to get one - yay for Mojito Fridays!
However, if it's just a true mojito you're looking for then try them at Nikki Beach in South Beach Miami. It's the birth place of my mojito obsession. Mmmmmmm yummy sugar cane sticks. Another favorite is Firefly in Las Vegas. They seriously have some of THE BEST mojitos out there! **I highly recommend the blood orange**
I'm always on the hunt for more great mojitos and I've heard these places in SF make amazing ones as well, so I think I will visit these hot spots in the coming weeks: Rye, Havana Restaurant. And please, if you know of any tasty ones, don't keep it to yourself- share!
