Rhubarb & Mint Mojito with Rhubarb Simple Syrup

It's starting to feel like summer on the farm here in Alberta.

And that means it's mojito season!

I fell in love with mojitos in Cuba a few years ago.  So every summer, we make sure to grab a mint plant from the greenhouse so we can have summer mojitos in the garden or on the deck after a day of getting dirty in the garden or working on a farm project.

When we made rhubarb simple syrup earlier this week, I thought, oh man, this would taste good in a mojito.

So this recipe was born.

And, I kid you not, rhubarb mojitos are to die-for!
