STRAWBERRY MINT MOJITO RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour 1/4 to 1/2 inch of sugar onto a small, shallow plate. Run one of the lime quarters around the rim of each cocktail glass, then dip the glasses into the sugar to rim; set aside.
• Squeeze all of the lime quarters into a sturdy glass pitcher. Toss the juiced limes into the pitcher along with the mint, strawberries, and 1 cup of sugar. Crush the fruits together with a muddler to release the juices from the strawberries and the oil from the mint leaves. Stir in the rum and club soda until the sugar has dissolved. Pour into the sugared glasses over ice cubes to serve.

Steps:

• Firstly make the syrup.
• In one saucepan make simple syrup with equal measures of sugar and water, then add the halved strawberries.
• Simmer for 10 minutes and then strain with a fine mesh or cheesecloth.
• // In another saucepan, boil some water and add 5-7 stems of mint.
• Boil for 10 seconds then remove to an ice bath for one minute.
• Dry the stems with a paper towel then pick the leaves off and add to the strawberry syrup.
• // Blend the mixture in a blender for one minute, then strain and chill.
• The syrup will last for about a month in the fridge.
