Thirsty Thursday: Strawberry Mojito Cocktail

Yes, this is my second post of the day, but I could not pass up sharing this tantelizing Strawberry Mojito Cocktail recipe with you on this sunny Thirsty Thursday.


Ingredients:
1.5 ounces of simple syrup
about 3 fresh strawberries
about 4-5 fresh spearmint sprigs (chopped if you prefer smaller mint pieces in your cocktail)
soda water
1/2 lime

1. In a chilled glass (about 10-12 ounces), muddle the simple syrup, strawberries and mint leaves together with the back of a spoon or muddler. Crush the strawberries and mint leaves well.

2. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the glass, add the rum and stir well. Fill glass with ice and top off with soda water.

3. Garnish with mint sprigs or strawberry slices. Makes 1 drink.

Enjoy!
