Summertime sweetness

Summertime is the time of year where sweet and tarty drinks are most loved.  Whether it's a 90 degree day or just in the 70s a sweet and simple cocktail can make everything better!  When craving a sweet and refreshing cocktail there is one place that I always go running to; Salt Rum Bar and Kitchen.  Locals of Ipswich, MA, which is where this great hidden gem is located, simply call the rum bar and kitchen "Salt".  Not only do they serve up some wonderful and interesting drinks, but they also provide their customers with a great ambiance.  Now let's get to the drinks and reasoning behind my absolute obsession.

My favorite summertime cocktail is a classic Mojito. The mint, lime, rum, club soda, and sugar go hand-in-hand with each other resulting in a tasty combination of sweetness and tartness.  When Salt makes any of their drinks you are able to watch the bartenders which allows the customers to feel comfortable in knowing that all of the ingredients being out into each drink is fresh and of the best quality.  The key to their success is that they muddle every ingredient of the cocktail all together and then add the liquor.  By combining each component and mashing then all together, it allows for all of the flavors to resonate and marinate with each other.  

What makes Salt's drinks so great one might ask.  It may be because of their fresh ingredients or it may be that they put love into each cook tail they make, regardless of what it is you can't beat them!
