The flavors of a classic Mojito (mint and lime) are blended into a refreshing slushy. This is a delicious and easy to make cocktail. For a large party, triple the recipe and store the slushy in a pitcher in the freezer for up to an hour. Stir to blend before serving guests. Adapted from Bon Appetit. Ingredients:
1 lime wedge |
1 cup rum or 1 cup vodka |
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (use generous amount) |
1/3 cup sugar or 1/3 cup light agave nectar |
4 -5 cups ice cubes |
12 fresh mint leaves |
4 mint sprigs |
Directions:
1. Place enough sugar on a small plate to reach depth of 1/4 inch. Run lime wedge around the rim of 4 martinin glasses to moisten. Dip rims into sugar on plate.
2. Blend rum or vodka and 1/3 cup sugar in blender until sugar dissolves. Add ice, blend until smooth, adding up to 1 cup more ice, if desired.
3. Add 12 mint leaves and blend until green flecks appear. Pour into prepared glasses.
4. Garnish with mint sprigs.
5. Sit back and enjoy.
