Rewind....The two of us spent Memorial Day weekend in Vegas at the Bellagio (one of my fav hotels) and they had this drink called Toro!
It is basically a Vodka Mojito with a splash of Red Bull! It was so yummy...so this is where we stole our inspiration from! Making with vodka instead of rum makes the drink less sweet and lighter ;) Perfect fresh summer cocktail.
Side Note! WE WON ;)
Here's the recipe..
2 1/2 oz Vodka
3 Fresh Mint Sprigs
2 tbsp Sugar (I used Raw Cane Sugar)
2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
Soda Water
Splash of Red Bull
- Muddle the mint, sugar and lime juice in a glass filled with ice
- In a martini shaker, shake the vodka and soda water up and pour on top on ice
- Splash the Red Bull on top

I love mojitos but hate vodka so I'm curious! I'll have to try it sometime :)
I've just stumbled upon your blog ~ it's such fun!
It's no wonder you won ~ this sound fabulous! My favorite summer sipper is mojitos.

Sounds very refreshing! I think I would omit the red bull though. Did it really make the difference...hummm I'll try. I really enjoy lime during the summer hot days. And Oh! since its for a wedding..lime ice balls would be great in this. Freeze lime juice in small round trays. I found one at the grocer's so I think they are easy to find. see you soon....susie
