How to make frozen Mojitos!

Me with my last frozen mojito before going home!

The moment I got to the pool and saw these floating around in the hands of many others, I knew I had to have one. As a mojito lover, this was a dream come true in the hot Puerto Rican sun! From the first sip, the drink had me! So refreshing and tart. I will be making them much stronger than the El San Juan hotel and it will cost me a lot less than $13 a pop! I knew I had to share this recipe upon my arrival home- so here it goes!

Frozen Mojito Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

1 (6 oz.) can of frozen limeade mix
White Rum
Crushed or cubed ice
A fistful of fresh mint
Sparkling water or club soda
Limes and mint leaves for garnish

PROCEDURE:

1. In blender, pour 1 can of frozen limeade mix, 1 can of rum, and then fill blender with ice.
2. Place fresh mint leaves in a bowl and with a muddler, (the back of a spoon or fork will work) gently mash the leaves just enough to release their minty essence.
3. Place muddled mint leaves and 1 can of sparkling water into limeade-rum mixture.
4. Blend, adding ice or water as necessary to create the consistency of frozen slush.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve in wide-mouthed margarita glasses or a plastic cup will do just fine!

Cheers & enjoy my favorite thing I brought home from Puerto Rico- unfortunately, the others couldn't fit in my bag!
