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.

Kir Royale (French champagne cocktail)

2 Minute Easy Kir Royale

2 mins

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp Creme de cassis
• 185ml/ 3/4 cup champagne or sparkling wine

Rated 4.5/5 based on 2912 customer reviews

Instructions

1. Pour creme de cassis in a champagne glass, then top with Champagne and serve!
2. In reality, you don't need to measure - just eyeball it by colour, take a sip and adjust to taste! Some people like it sweeter, with a deeper red. Some people like just a tiny hint of blackcurrent.

Recipe notes

1. Creme de cassis is a sweet, dark red liquor made from blackcurrants. It's $27 for a 700ml/24 oz bottle at Dan Murphy's (large Australian liquor store).

2. Best champagne for Kir Royale -  any champagne*, sparkling wine (brut) or Cava is ideal here. Just don't get one that's labelled (or described on the label) as SWEET, because the creme de cassis is sweet and together it will probably be too sweet.

RECIPE TIPS

TWISTS ON THE COSMO

1. Champagne cosmo:

Add a splash of champagne to the finished cocktail, then stir gently and serve.

2. Blue cosmo:

Substitute blue curaçao for triple sec and Ocean Spray white cranberry juice for the usual red. Some blue curaçaos are quite sweet, so you may want to up the lime a little.

3. Tequila cosmo:

Replace the vodka in your usual cosmo with a good quality, 100% blue agave tequila like Ocho or Olmeca Altos.

Deseed a pomegranate to get 3/4 cup pomegranate arils. Thinly slice 2-3 limes. In a bowl, whisk together the water and 3/4 cup white sugar until the sugar is completely integrated. Fill a large pitcher halfway with lots of ice. Pour in the simple sugar mixture of water and sugar. Add in the unsweetened cranberry-pomegranate juice. Add in the club soda or sparkling water. I used 1 bottle of mandarin lime sparkling water and 1 bottle of sparkling pomegranate soda (each bottle was 12 ounces). Stir together in the pitcher. Add in the sliced limes and pomegranate arils. If desired, rim your glasses in sugar! Dip the top of the glass into a bowl filled with water and then into a bowl filled with sugar. Pour the drink into the sugar-rimmed glasses and garnish if desired with a cinnamon stick and/or fresh mint. Add a slice of lime if desired. Enjoy immediately. (To make ahead, combine everything except the ice and sparkling water/soda. Add ice and sparkling water/soda right before serving.)
