| Easy Peasy Mojito Slushy! |
I wrote this back in 2020. So, I am just makin'a few changes.
With everything going on... there are still days I think going back to so called "normal" ... is a moot point. I mean, normal... is just a setting on our dishwasher.
I have hope, for tomorrow; (back in 2020, I meant'tomorrow', as when COVID would be figured out.)
Here's hoping every tomorrow, will be a bit brighter. Or at least, bring us hope.
Till then, I'm just callin'this time, a glitch.
So, time to enjoy the glitch; as well as everyday!
Look around, count your blessings, and hug your loved ones.
I hope everyone has managed to keep their sense of humor in tact. These are a couple of great, comical, cartoons my husband did for this original post in 2020.
Now, with the renewed possibility of visiting Old Havana someday; is why I share recipes for Mojitos; the quintessential Cuban cocktail!
With rum, lime and mint, Cuba's Caribbean weather, and the romanticism of Papa Hemingway; in my opinion, clearly adds to the appeal.
The beauty of the recipe for the Mojito Punch, is that it's for a 6 cup recipe of a versatile mixer; and there's no muddling. It even makes a great refreshing summer beverage, by itself, over ice, without the rum. Since the recipe is possibly, for more than one, for the joie de vie quality ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Enjoy!
For Mint Limeade, you need:
6-8 limes
1 bunch of mint; at least 24 sprigs.
1 cup of sugar
5 cups of water
Directions~
In a 48-64 ounce pitcher,
-1 cup of fresh squeezed lime juice, 6-8 limes juiced; set aside
Gather 12 or so sprigs of fresh mint, bind together with a rubber band at stem, so you have a sort of mint brush.
In a small pan make a simple syrup. Combine: 1 cup of sugar & 1 cup of water. Heat on medium, till sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Place "mint brush" in simple syrup to steep for 15 minutes.
When cooled, add mint infused simple syrup to the lime juice in the pitcher. Then add 4 cups of cold water. This makes the mixer/Mint Limeade.
Then for a Mojito:
Fill a highball with ice
Add 1 & 1/2 ounce of rum
Then add Mint Limeade to nearly the top, then top off with club soda. Garnish with mint leaves. Esa es la buena vida!
Now, onward and forward, to a new world... hee hee...
Easy Peasy Mojito Slushy:
You will need-
128 oz plastic container -freezer compatible
12oz limeade concentrate (whatevah brand)
Mint~ I use around 2-3 dozen leaves- half of .75 oz package
2 cups of White Rum
In the container, prepare the limeade as it states, mixing in 4& 1/3 cans of water. Next, add mint, and muddle a bit -not too much. Next add rum! Then mix 'er up, put lid on container and carefully place in freezer. Give it a day to slush up, then scoop out as wanted/needed. You could top it off with Club Soda, if you like, but I did not. I thought it was perfect the way it was.
Enjoy!
Last but certainly not least...
