Rebecca McMurray from Lacombe was declared the contest winner for her Hibiscus Raspberry Mojito. While working at the Cilantro and Chive restaurant in Lacombe one night, the creation of the drink came from a few raspberries.
“The owner of Cilantro and Chive supports the Dry9 initiative and asked staff if we could come up with mocktail recipes for the contest. My inspiration for the drink came from seeing what we could do with extra raspberries we had. I love mojitos and my goal was to create a delicious mocktail that not only I would love, but others would feel the same way about too.”
