Happy Monday ! Summers are here, temperatures are rising and rising a bit too quickly in this part of the world, but I’ve got all you covered. We’ll beat the heat in style, with a quick, refreshing and perfectly cool drink Strawberry Mojito. It’s virgin (non-alcoholic) yet so bubbly and fruity making it a perfect summer drink!
I had posted this image on my Facebook Page here a few weeks ago and had totally forgotten about posting the recipe, until a reader reminded.Yeah, that’s what rising temperatures do to you. But, I’m glad someone reminded, they’re following the blog 😀
Just a few ingredients and you have it all, Anti-oxidants from mint and strawberries and Vitamin C from lemons. It involves muddling of the ingredients, mixing it all up and start sippin’! See, in the picture how muddling the strawberries, mint leaves and sugar brings out all those juices? That’s the base for our drink.
This is the ultimate summertime drink, although there’s a classic version of Mojito with lime and mint leaves alone, adding strawberries gives it some sweetness and of course a whole new flavor, can it get better than that? I don’t think so!
Like I said this Mojito has it all, it’s adding to your good health, helps de-stress and relax, what else do you need on a hot summer day? Oh! It makes an excellent party drink too, so impress your guests or make it for yourself, just make it and start Sippin’!
