A Strawberry Kiss with a Bite of Lime

To celebrate the arrival of our new freelance contributor, we have decided to go back to posting actual recipes instead of just links and pictures. So the kick things off, lets have a toast to our newest member.

Strawberry Mojito anyone?



Strawberry Mojitos (From My Adventures in Food)

For each mojito, you will need:
4-5 fresh strawberries, depending on size
Small handful of fresh mint leaves
3 oz simple syrup (even amounts of sugar and water, heated until the sugar melts, and cooled to room temperature)
2 oz rum
1 1/2 tsp fresh lime juice
Club soda
Lime slices

Place strawberries, mint, and some ice (crushed ice works best) in a tall glass. Muddle the ingredients together with the back of a spoon (or a muddler if you have one.) Add simple syrup, rum, and lime juice. Pour in enough club soda to fill the glass. Give the mixture a stir, and garnish with fresh strawberries and lime slices.
