My husband and I picked up a few choice steaks for dinner. The weather was beautiful, we had a cucumber onion salad marinating in the refrigerator, so the time to grill was now. I love how it feels like 6 o'clock at 8:30 pm!
Fresh pineapple, check. Fresh strawberries, check. Fresh limes, check. Fresh mint, check.
I give you, Strawberry Pineapple Mojito.
In a glass, muddle:
Pineapple chunks
2 Strawberries
Multiple mint leaves
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon of sugar
Once thoroughly smashed, add:
Ice
2 oz of light rum
Top with club soda
Stir. Garnish with mint leaves and something pretty. Sip and enjoy!
Tip: Some say to use lemon-lime soda, or even ginger ale. If you go that direction, not a problem. I suggest omitting the sugar. Some beverages will sweeten the drink too much. Take a cue from your fresh fruit. It may be all the sweetness you need.
Such a refreshing drink. Perfect for a hammock swing or a steak dinner.
Cheers,
andrea
