Hello "weekend"

Image
It's hot. I'm tired. We're childless (for the evening). I'm making a drink! Feel the same? Make my "Hello Weekend" Mojito. These are best when sipped with a loved one on a hot, sticky summer's night. "Hello Weekend" Mojito Makes 4 drinks. (Why make one when you can share with friends?) Ingredients: 4 high ball glasses 4 tablespoon sugar 20 mint sprigs, or spearmint, 8 roughly broken apart Ice 6 ounces light rum juice of 1-2 limes 4 large strawberries, sliced Club soda 1 lime, sliced into wedges Place 4-5 mint sprigs and 1 tablespoon sugar in each glass. Muddle to release oil from mint. Place ice in glasses and pour in approximately 1-2 ounces of rum (depending on desired strength). Divide lime juice and strawberries evenly between glasses. Top off each glass with club soda. Garnish each glass with a lime slice and straw. Hope you enjoy your weekend, whenever it may be. It's 5 o'clock, somewhere, right?! Cheers.
