About the recipe
The acerola is a tart, tropical tree cherry native to South America with a bijillion doses of vitamin C in one serving, and it makes this a mad mojito sweetened with agave nectar. With all the vitamin C and anti-oxidants, you can eat, drink and be healthy. Recipe courtesy of Beleza.
