Mojito (pronounced moe-hee-toe) is Cuba’s most famous cocktail, and is reputedly a favorite of author Earnest Hemingway. It is important that the blackberries and mint are gently muddled – never crushed – to release their flavors but not release harsh or bitter tannins into the beverage. A wooden spoon or firm silicone spatula can be used in place of a muddler to crush the berries and mint.

Presenting a healthy and beautiful Organic Caribbean Summer Raspberry Avocado Salad.

This is easy and fast to make, looks nice enough for a dressy dinner, but is also fine for casual dining, and the fresh raspberries brighten this salad with tropical flavors and color. The raspberry dressing alone is versatile enough for fish, chicken or mixed greens. Drscoll’s Berries offers organic berries via loads of stores, so this is also pesticide free dinner.
