It's almost summer time, my favorite time of the year! Flip flops and sundresses, visits to the beach or a summer resort, backyard barbecues, and other outdoor activities. Whatever your plans are for the summer, Target has what you need to get yourself ready. In addition to sharing one of my favorite summer cocktails, a peach mojito, I've teamed up with a few other bloggers to give you the chance to win a $200 Target gift card! Update: giveaway has ended.

Enjoy a summer cocktail after your Target shopping trip!

A traditional mojito is a delicious and refreshing cocktail, and I love this summer flavor twist. Peeling a peach can be difficult, so you can use thawed frozen peaches (as long as they're not frozen in syrup) instead.

The recipe below makes one cocktail, but it can easily be scaled up to make more than one, even a pitcher-ful. Freeze fresh raspberries to keep your cocktail cold without watering it down with ice cubes and add extra flavor.

You can use sugar if you can't find or don't want to purchase agave syrup, but I prefer the syrup to sugar, because sugar doesn't always completely dissolve. Use 1 teaspoon of sugar for every ¾ teaspoon of agave syrup.

You could also make a simple syrup: combine equal parts sugar and syrup in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cool. Use 1 ½ teaspoons of simple syrup in place of the agave syrup.
