My friend Liz makes the best Mojito known to womankind. Last weekend she made a Mojito to die for. I thought I didn't like these drinks much-not very exciting, and after many experiments at home (ie: crushing the fresh mint INTO the drink with a blender so that the end result was a yucky slimy green smoothie that no amount of alcohol could disguise) but I have now discovered the secret is in the freshest ingredients. I was the designated driver so I had the first with alcohol and the rest of the night, utilized all that fresh mint and raspberry mulch by just adding soda water which was deliciously refreshing as well.
Her recipe? 20 leaves of the freshest mint you can find (per glass), lots of fresh lime juice (just keep squeezing), crushed raspberries from her garden (big hand full), some rum-1-2 oz (she bought a bottle that actually had the crusher gizmo attached as a party favour) and about a teaspoonful of sugar, lots of ice, and fill with soda water. Try it and let me know what you think!
Please share your favorite new summer drink and we will post it here!
