Lon's at The Hermosa Inn in Paradise Valley, AZ, offers a refreshing way to beat the heat this summer. Enjoy a Megargee Mojito, named for cowboy artist Lon Megargee whose historic ranch house is today the site of Lon's at The Hermosa Inn. Lon's twist on the classic mojito features orange peel rum for a citrus-flavored kick.
