Strawberry Mojito

Strawberry season is the perfect time to enjoy a fresh Strawberry Mojito. I am guessing no matter where you live the produce department is filled with fresh from Florida strawberries grown in Plant City, Florida. Once you get tired of eating those strawberry no-bake pies and strawberry filled cupcakes and you are still looking for strawberry recipes you can enjoy a cool and refreshing Strawberry Mojito.

A traditional mojito doesn't include strawberries but what's a girl to do when she has overstocked the refrigerator with fresh Florida strawberries?

Make a Strawberry Mojito that's what. I love fruity cocktails and even though I love a good traditional mojito once in awhile I like to change things up every once in awhile. It keeps life interesting don't you think?

How to make a Strawberry Mojito

Ingredients

• 2-3 medium strawberries
• 8 large or 12 small mint leaves
• ¼ of a lime
• 4 teaspoons superfine sugar
• 3 tablespoons light rum
• chilled club soda
• ice

Directions

1. Using a cocktail muddler crush the first 4 ingredients until pulverized and sugar has dissolved.
2. Fill glass with ice.
3. Add 3 tablespoons light rum, top with about half a cup of chilled club soda.
4. Stir to combine and garnish with mint leaves and a slice of lime and strawberry.

 How to make superfine sugar

Don't have super fine sugar on hand? No problem.........Pulse regular granulated sugar in a blender for a few seconds.

This recipe calls for the use of a cocktail muddler. You would think a cocktail muddler would be very easy to find. Well, I looked and looked at all the obvious places one might think they could buy a cocktail muddler.

I could not find one. Then one day while I was shopping at one of our malls I ran into  Bed, Bath, and Beyond and they had one. I was looking for a bamboo cocktail muddler or one made of untreated wood but all they had was this aluminum cocktail muddler. It works really well so I am glad I bought it but I may just buy the bamboo cocktail muddler on Amazon. I love the way it has two different sized ends.

So if you need to pick up a cocktail muddler to make this Strawberry Mojito you might want to save yourself a couple of trips and just pick up one of these on Amazon.
