I’m suffering from serious vacation withdrawal. The good news is that it’s absolutely gorgeous in Portland right now and I can sit in my backyard with a beer and a book and pretend I’m still in the Caribbean (kind of). And, in my travels, I discovered two delicious things that I can’t wait to indulge in again, this time on domestic soil.
1. A Mojito Royale. All the minty goodness of a rum-filled mojito…copiously topped with Champagne. Yes please!

2. Johnny Cakes. How have I never eaten these before?? They are the stuff dreams are made of!

Welcome bake! that mojito royale? wowza. Sounds like a good way to bring the islands home 🙂
Thanks! I finally *finally* feel like I’ve caught up on my real life. And when I need to retreat back into “vacation mode” I can open one of bottles of Caribbean rum! =)
love the blog
Thank you!
I’ll take one of each! Never thought of topping the mojito w/ champagne! (Instead of sparkling water, I’m guessing?)
Yes, brilliant idea, right? Why use water when you can just add more alcohol! My kind of drink!
