Delicious Mojitos to sip in Edmonton

Ah, the mojito - a great summer cocktail. Born in Havana, Cuba, this drink is typically prepared with white rum, sugar, lime, sparkling water and mint sprigs. However, there are quite a few varieties of this popular drink – fruit liqueurs, champagne, blueberries, gin and other changes are sometimes incorporated.

Some like it hot: Best hot chocolate spots

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.
