The beautiful warm weather always makes me want to be outdoors basking in the sun. I’m a sun driven gal—through and through.
And how better to enjoy the sunny warmth than with a delicious and pretty cocktail?
Mojitos are one of my favorite adult beverages but I rarely order them when I’m out because I’m rather particular on how they’re prepared. Most places skimp on the mint and limes——–and without enough, you’re pretty much drinking spiked-flavored-water. Bleh!
But when done correctly, Mojitos are just divine. Super herbaceous and refreshing.
I picked up a carton of fresh strawberries while I was at my farmers market and thought they would be a perfect addition to my beloved cocktail. The fruitiness of the berries paired beautifully with the mint and citrus.
The measurements below are my suggested amounts according to how I like my Mojitos. But if you like things sweeter or prefer more strawberries, adjust to your fancy. 🙂
Cheers!
