Basil-Cucumber Mojito image

I love mojitos, but sometimes I am just not feeling the mint. Luckily, this is a great alternative that brings together the complex aromatic flavor of basil and the cool, refreshing splash of a cucumber.

I wasn't a fan of this mojito. The cucumber and basil were too overpowering for my taste.

I thought this mojito was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.
