For returning guests, welcome to our little drink mixing blog. BlondeMers & I have sworn to only provide recipes for the most delectable cocktails imaginable. Since we are blogging from deep down in Alabama, we thought we’d provide a recipe that is not only easy breezy to make, but is perfect for sipping out on the veranda, (cause down here we all have verandas of course). After much consideration we decided that nothing fits the bill better than a long cold tall Mojito! This scrumptious beverage will not only tickle your taste buds, but it will tickle your nose as a bonus.
Mojito Ingredients:
fresh mint
fresh mint
fresh lime juice
white or light rum
club soda
limes
ice (a couple of the handy little artificial cubes keep the glass cool)
superfine sugar
Simple sugar syrup: Ahead of time, heat equal parts of sugar and water in a saucepan until sugar is completely dissolved. Pour into a container — it will keep for a couple of weeks in refrigerator.
Cocktail: Place mint leaves and a tablespoon of simple syrup in a glass and mash mint and 
syrup with spoon to release the minty flavor. (We use a wooden muddler instead of a spoon). Add lime juice and two shots of rum and shake. Pour over glass filled with ice then top with club soda. Garnish and enjoy. (If you'll notice in the first photo I'm using the "aqua cubes" in addition to regular ice to keep my beverage extra frosty. For more information on these great little cubes that I cont
inuously find uses for, refer to the prior blog entitled #001 Ice Ice Baby.

Love everybody in the room,

Notable: Our next blog should finally have a little multi-media action for ya so please add us to your bookmark & come back for a peek. We are unveiling; or perhaps a better word would be “unleashing” several new features including the long promised personally demonstrated drink mixing tutorials.
