One of my favorite things to do when I go home to California is enjoy my Aunt’s specialty Mojito on their balcony in Monterey, CA as we watch the sunset. There is nothing more beautiful or relaxing than that peaceful time with family and a good cocktail.
Now since I cannot live in Monterey, CA on the coast in retirement I sit here in the Texas summer heat and day dream about those vacation days that seem too far away. Luckily Arbonne has this beautiful mocktail or cocktail (however you like it) to make me at least feel a little bit closer.
