Mojito Fruit Kabobs
"These kabobs are summer on a stick! Soaked in lemon lime soda and light rum, they are bright, refreshing, and the perfect summer adult snack. Any melon will get the job done here but I like a mix of watermelon and cantaloupe. Plus a small mountain of fresh mint and a good glug of rum will get you there. Don’t let these sit too long or they will turn into some sort of strange alcoholic slurry, but after a few minutes, they are a pretty refreshing thing on a stick."
