About this Mojito Milkshake
- Two summer beverages in one: If a mojito and a vanilla milkshake had a baby, it would be this refreshing summer treat.
- Alcohol or no alcohol: You can easily make this recipe without the rum and it will still have a great refreshing mojito flavor! This doesn’t have a lot of booze in it, but if you’re not a drinker, you’ll still get a lot of great flavor from the mint and lime and vanilla ice cream without the addition of rum.
