Mojito Monday... on Tuesday

I don't drink often, but when I do, I want a yummy drink! It was so hot out yesterday, it completely warranted a mojito. Especially after our ongoing landscaping ordeal. By ordeal, I mean, weeding, watering, constantly adding. I think that's just normal upkeep, and maybe shouldn't be quite classified as an ordeal. Although last night, and the past couple nights, we've been tackling some craziness. Think a field of stinging nettle and thorns, and you get the picture. A mojito was totally and utterly deserved.

So I got out the equipment and got to work making this yummy bev. To switch it up a little bit from the classic, I added a handful of basil. Took it to a whole new level for me...

These are awesome juicers! Love em!

First I muddled the mint and basil with half a lime and three good squirts of lime juice.

Then I added the two teaspoons of sugar and white rum. The amount of that is up to you!

Finally, I topped it off with club soda and for a little something special, threw some blueberries on a toothpick for a garnish. Talk about going all out... for a Monday!

(Recipe stolen from my momma in law, and slightly tweaked- 
it was by memory, so ya, it's obviously going to be tweaked)

Happy drinking!
