Last week we received no fewer than four (4!!) pints of strawberries in our fruit and vegetable delivery from our CSA (TaylOrganic Farms). And they were fat, juicy, perfect strawberries, too - almost too good to eat any other way but plain. But I did manage to spare a few to make one of my favorite summer drinks, a strawberry mojito. It’s really simple - just smash up a couple strawberries with some sugar and mint leaves, add rum and club soda, and slurp away.
Cast of characters: 3-4 strawberries, 3 sprigs of mint, 1 tablespoon simple syrup (or you can use sugar), 1 lime, white rum (I like 10 Cane), club soda.
Start by quartering the lime. Slice the tops off the strawberries and cut into pieces.
Put the strawberries into a cocktail shaker, along with the lime pieces and mint leaves. Add one tablespoon of simple syrup or sugar to the shaker.
If you have a muddler, great, if you don’t - find a kitchen utensil with a blunt end to use. With all the muddling I’ve been doing for the cocktails on this blog, you’d think I would have picked up one of these gadget by now right??
Smash the berries and mint until they are in pieces and have released plenty of juice.
Fill the cocktail shaker with crushed ice, right on top of the berries and lime. Add at least 2 ounces of rum - you should see the liquid come almost to the surface where the ice is.
Shake it up, then pour everything into a tall glass. Top with a splash of club soda.
This is the part where you could put a slice of strawberry on the side for a garnish. Or, if you’re like me, you can just eat the garnish and go straight for the drink.

Hey Bo! Thanks for stopping by the blog
Liz said you might make the thai ribs too - I highly recommend them! They were so easy to make, and such a fun change from regular barbecue ribs…

In these days of austerity as well as relative stress about getting debt, most people balk up against the idea of employing a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise or maybe pay for a trip, preferring, instead to rely on the tried as well as trusted method of making repayment - raw cash. However, if you have the cash on hand to make the purchase completely, then, paradoxically, that is the best time to be able to use the credit cards for several motives.

You really make it appear really easy along with your presentation however I to find this matter to be actually something that I feel I might by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and very extensive for me. I’m having a look ahead in your next submit, I will try to get the hold of it!

I have been browsing online greater than 3 hours these days, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It¡¦s pretty price sufficient for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content material as you did, the web can be much more useful than ever before.

All I would say is that this TV has a great picture and excellent sound.It looks good with its slim surround. Straightforward set up (although the batteries in mine were duds-luckily I had spares for the remote). Decided it justified a new stand which arrived today-that is just brilliant as well. At under L50 I think this was a bargain. Top marks to Amazon;both items are first class and deliveries were made exactly as advised.

With the growing number of road accidents taking place every day, it is very important to secure your automobile against any damage costs through an effective auto insurance, otherwise one may face grave financial repercussions, such as auto repair, auto body repair, paint job, etc.

Your knowledge definitely fills a necessity. I’ve been trying to locate this specific blog and you seriously came through. Can you imagine that that which you have written just about exactly replicates my own experience.
