Refreshing Twist on a Classic Mojito!
I recently tried the Perilla Cucumber Mojito, and it was an absolute delight! The addition of perilla added a unique twist to the classic mojito flavor, providing a refreshing and aromatic experience.
The combination of crisp cucumber and fragrant perilla complemented the traditional mint and lime perfectly. It was light, crisp, and incredibly refreshing – perfect for a hot summer day or any occasion.
I highly recommend trying the Perilla Cucumber Mojito for a refreshing and flavorful take on a beloved classic cocktail. Cheers to innovation and delicious drinks!

Nice little Korean-American twist for a good summer drink.

I grow perilla leaves in my garden. Planted them once and now they come back on their own (self seeding) each year. This is a fantastic way to use them. Love it!

I made this drink with my friend when her mom had a bunch of perilla leaves from her garden and it was such a brilliant idea to give a twist to a traditional mojito. Loved it!
