The Mirror Lake Mojito

Alumni couple Meg Moorer '14 and Evan Moorer '15 make a Valentine’s Day cocktail the Buckeye way.

Are you and your Buckeye sweetheart missing the magic of the most romantic spot on campus? The Mirror Lake Mojito has you covered! Bright raspberries, cool mint and just enough sweetness make this Valentine’s Day cocktail the perfect treat to enjoy with your favorite Buckeye.

Alumni couple Meg and Evan Moorer love ’80s music and movies, making cocktails together and Ohio State football games (especially tailgating). Their advice to Buckeyes hoping to one day say “I do” is to take every opportunity to go to a game together — and always stick around for “Carmen Ohio”!
