HAPPY NEW YEAR, to all my dear readers and followers. 🙂 Today, I am sharing here my first recipe for 2024.

A cocktail is an alcoholic drink made with spirits, while a mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink that mimics the flavours and ingredients.

An Orange Mojito is a refreshing and citrusy twist on the classic Mojito cocktail. The taste typically combines the bright and zesty flavours of fresh oranges with the minty and slightly sweet notes of a traditional Mojito.

It is very much suitable for any parties for either kids or adults. Hope you shall try! 🙂
