These Mojito Macarons blend a mouthwatering assortment of sweet boozy flavors. The [tiny green bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-dipped-macarons) can be made in batches of 60 should this recipe be followed diligently, although it can also serve as inspiration for small scale baking projects.

Portrayed on the site as a 'Cocktail in a Macaron,' the alcoholic bites are made of food coloring, caster sugar and icing sugar, making the snacks the ultimate dessert for anyone with a sweet tooth.

The [Mojito-inspired twist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mojitoflavored-grapes) comes from the syrupy filling. [Mint leaves, white chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mint-liqueur) and rich whipping cream are mixed in with 40g of white rum, giving birth to a saccharine take on the refreshing summertime drink. Chunks of granulated sugar provide the final aesthetic touches as they are sprinkled on top of the miniature cakes.
