How about a Strawberry Mojito

It has been an eventful day and you are in need of something nice and mellow to settle you down. Instead of worrying about things you can not change, how about a nice simple cocktail. Now if you don't drink, this one is not for you but if you do, this one is certainly your decision.

How about a Strawberry Mojito as you sit in your spot where no one will find you?

Ingredients:
1 oz. fresh squeezed lime
1 tbs strawberry puree
2 oz. fresh sugarcane juice or 2 tsp sugar
5-10 mint leaves (save the tip of mint sprigs for garnish)
2 oz. white rum
1 oz. club soda
crushed ice

First add the lime and sugar (in my case sugarcane juice) in a small cocktail glass and stir until sugar dissolves. Then add the mint leaves, gently muddle them with a pestle to release the mint oils. Do not over crush. If you don't have a pestle, you can tear the mint leaves in half and gently swirl it in the lime mixture. Now add the strawberry puree and rum. Fill glass almost to top with crushed ice. Top off with a little bit of club soda. Gently stir, garnish, lounge and prepare to let life go by...

*To serve a crowd, increase amounts of mint, lime, sugar, rum, and strawberry puree and add to a pitcher. Pour mixture into glasses before topping the individual drinks with crushed ice and club soda.

Talk about a smooth situation
