Finally the weather is getting warm and the garden is being planted. There is mint for Mojitos and herbs for cooking on the grill. I feel like summer is finally coming and I am hoping to do a bit camping and a lot of BBQing. We made a fabulous drink today and I have to share.
1/2c diced strawberries
1 lime, juiced (or more if you like lime. I do, so I actually added an additional half lime)
1/4c pomegranate juice
1/4c mint leaves
1TB Aguave Sweetener (you could also use sugar, or splenda)
Club Soda or Sprite
4 shots white rum
Put the strawberries lime and mint in a shaker and muddle it together. Then add the pomegranate, sweetener, rum and shake that sucker up!
Pour it into a large glass over ice and top with the club soda or sprite. Then garnish with a little mint leaf.
I love the summer and spending time with family and friends outside. If you have a favorite summer drink please share it!
