Ok so you guessed so Miami is my favoritiest place on the planet (i know that aint a word) and on my first trip to miami there was a place on SOBE that sold the best freekin Mojito on the planet that was i thought until i went to Havana OutPost in Brooklyn who made a pretty good MoMO that is until they had some blender issues this season, so I decide to do one better when I saw Martha Stewart “I love her” making a refreshing Mojito with Fruit On the Today show last week and I said Eureka just put your favorite fruit in it.
Ok so I am not big on measure ments but what you need for My Mojito is
Ingredients
2 Lemons
3 cups Lemon Juice (unless you’re in a squeezing Mood)
Sugar 3 cups of Sugar
1/2 bunch of Mint Leaves (the Fresher the Better)
8 Fresh Strawberries Quartered
8 cups of Ice
A Blender
3 cups of club Soda/Sparkling Water
3 cups and a Whole LOt of Rum….YEAH..
Makes 64 ounces or a serving for 8
Directions
Ok Now I am not the big on following directions and to be honest with you these numbers are pretty estimated, but i swear the directions are legit..LOL The best way to make sure you are doing it right is to taste it, if you need more or less of an item make your own adjustments.
AnHOOO.. First thing first take a small sauce pan of water and add equal parts water and sugar on a low flame to boil. Once all of the sugar is dissolved pour it in a sturdy glas pitcher (or whatever you have handy I’m not picky).
Next You take lemons and slice them into thin slices And add them to the warm mix, along with the strawberries you cut up, and a few mint leaves and stir. Next add in the Lemon Juice, Club Soda,and Rum and once again stir because the Rum will sit right on top if you don’t.
If you are a lush like me you just drink it right there, but if you are a fancy pants like Martha, take the left over You will take margarita glasses that you have chilled in the freezerPour 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.
Crush the Ice in a blender and Pour in the glass, garnish the glass with strawberry slices, a mint leaf and a lemon & get your drink On.
