The warm weather has finally arrived in New England and it's time to muddle up a fresh cocktail and enjoy the evening out on the patio (or the roof deck, porch, back yard ...OK, just head outside).
Makes four drinks
Ingredients
11 oz. strawberries, hulled (2-3/4 cups)
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
10 large fresh mint leaves
1 cup white or amber rum
1 cup seltzer
Mint sprigs, lime wedges, or fresh strawberries, to garnish
Directions
In a medium pitcher, combine the strawberries, lime juice, sugar, and mint leaves and crush with a muddler or wooden spoon until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Add the rum and stir gently.
Fill 4 rocks glasses three-quarters full with ice, divide the mojito among them, and top each with about 1/4 cup seltzer. Garnish with mint sprigs, lime wedges, or strawberries.
Cheers!!
