Blended Strawberry Makeshift Mojitos
If you’ve seen my Instagram stories, you know that there is nothing I love more than sitting in my backyard enjoying a beverage (which is usually coffee). But this past weekend we decided to shake things up a bit (or should I say blend - bad joke) and created this. Now it can definitely be modified to your preferred sweetness, and with your preferred alcohol - for us it’s vodka - or you can do none at all, but it’s a great refreshing icy drink.
Yields: 4 servings
Total Time: 10 mins
Ingredients
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
4 tablespoons sugar (can be substituted with honey)
Approximately 20 mint leaves
4 oz vodka
4 cups frozen strawberries
Favourite carbonated beverage of choice to taste (we used sprite, you can also try club soda, etc.)
Preparation
Divide vodka and sugar into 4 separate glasses
Add in approximately 4 mint leaves in each glass, and muddle the mint (you can use a mortar & pestle, we have a cool gadget that’s a pestle just for each glass, or the back of a wooden spoon)
Into a blender. combine strawberries and lime just and blend until smooth
Pour into the glasses, stir gently
Make alterations as needed to taste: more lime juice, sugar, vodka, etc.
Top with your favourite carbonated beverage of choice, and garnish with a fresh mint leaf, separated into pieces.
ENJOY!
As always, let me know what you think!
Happy Friday!
