If you have an abundance of Key limes after making a classic Key lime pie, use some up to make this refreshing summer cocktail. The tart juice of Key limes makes the mojito a bit sharper and more citrusy, and the cream makes it taste like a creamy slice of Key lime pie. You’ll need a simple syrup for this cocktail, which is super-easy to make if you don’t want to buy one. You can even add some mint leaves in with it to make the mint flavor stronger.
