~ the cocktail hour: mojito's ~

So I thought I would start off this week with some cocktails!  A great way to start the week, don't you think?  And the cocktail for today is a Sardinian Blood Orange Mojito...

A fabulous take on the original!  Here's how to make your own...

Ingredients:

2 Bunches of Mint
1 Cup of Fresh Squeezed Blood Orange Juice (you can substitute Trader Joe’s Blood Orange Soda)
2 shots of Rum
2 Tablespoons of Sugar (omit if you use the TJ’s juice)
Juice of 1 Lime
1 cup of ice
1 shaker & Muddler

Methodology:

Add mint, lime juice and sugar to shaker.
Muddle the ingredients until the mint is well crushed.
Add rum, blood orange juice and ice.
Shake well and serve garnished with remaining mint and a slice of lime.

~ Cheers
