Strawberry Mojitos

Here’s an easy cocktail recipe that is soooo good: Strawberry Mojitos 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 teaspoon granulated white sugar
• 4 lime wedges
• 8 fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
• ice
• 4 ounces white rum
• one bottle of Jarritos strawberry soda (or club soda)
• Additional strawberries and mint, for garnish (if desired)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon sugar in each of two tall glasses. Squeeze the juice from 2 lime wedges into each glass. Add 4 mint leaves and 1/4 cup strawberries to each glass. Muddle the mixture in each glass to bring out the flavors. If you don't have an "official" muddler, it's okay to use the handle of a wooden spoon.
2. Add a few ice cubes and 2 ounces of white rum to each glass. Pour strawberry soda into each glass, stir, garnish with a strawberry (if desired) and serve.

 

NOTES
Jarritos strawberry soda can be found in the Latin aisle of many regular grocery stores. Club soda can be substituted... it just won't have as strong of a strawberry flavor. If using club soda, add a full teaspoon of sugar to each cocktail.
