From Garden to Glass...



The vegetable garden is in full swing.  Let's start cooking!  Before I could decide what to make I need a cocktail.  What better way to use my mint then in a refreshing mojito.  Mojitos bring back memories of my honeymoon in South Florida back in February 2012.


To make a great mojito you need a few ingredients.


12-14 Fresh Mint leaves
1/2 lime
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 shot of white rum
club soda
ice cubes




Add the mint and lime (cut into quarters) to a glass.  Use a muddler to break down the mint and lime.










Add the sugar and use the muddler again to mix the mint/lime mixture with the sugar.

Next add the Rum!!!


Then fill the glass with ice and club soda.


Finally enjoy!!!


Yummmmm...you can see my garden in the background.  I think my next post will be a tour of the garden!
