This Moscato Mojito post is sponsored and is intended for those 21+ years of age. Gallo Family Vineyards compensated me for participation in this campaign. Thoughts are my own.

I have wild mint growing uncontrollably in my yard. If you happen to live nearby and need mint just let me know. I have an UNLIMITED supply and you’re welcome to come pluck some up. I’m not kidding when I tell you it grows like weeds. There’s no taming it.

It comes back every. single.year. And while it used to aggravate me at first, now I’ve grown to embrace and respect it’s persistence. Not to mention besides smelling amazing I can have all the mojitos I could possibly want. Silver lining.

Gallo Family Vineyards sent me samples of their Moscato wines (pink, standard and red – options baby) and asked me to come up a celebratory drink in honor of National Moscato Day. With all that mint around Mojitos immediately came to mind.

If you’ve never tried a Moscato wine, Gallo Family Vineyards Moscato is “bursting with delicious flavors of peach, honey, and ripe citrus – in a delightfully light style.”

Gallo Family Vineyards loves Moscato so much they petitioned to have May 9th be the official celebration day of all Moscatos.

    LOVE this! I have an obsession with mint and would totally take you up on your offer if I lived in the area. I have several different flavors of mint and am excited to try this with them all!

    SO preeetay!
    The reason I don’t have mint in my backyard is because the one year that I did have it, I could not control the darn thing!

    Looks great… Just wanted to point out that you have raspberries in the ingredients list, but no mention of them in the instructions.
