POMEGRANATE MOJITOS

Pomegranate & Citrus season is still in full force, and after having made a handful of grapefruit or clementine cocktails , it was time to get some pom in the mix.

If you're a mojito lover, this is SO for you- still minty & fizzy, with just a hint of pomegranate tang!

What you need to make it happen:

- 1 1/2 ounces white rum

- 1 ounce pomegranate simple syrup

- mint leaves

- pomegranate seeds

- sprite or soda water

- ice (I freeze mint leaves & pom seeds in mine!)

How to make it happen:

Step 1: Muddle a few mint leaves with your pomegranate simple syrup

Step 2: Add rum, ice, fill with sprite (for sweeter taste) or soda water

Step 3: Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and mint leaves!

Step 4: Enjoy!

This drink is crisp, refreshing, and just sweet enough to be called fruity.

Like I said- I freeze mint leaves and pomegranate leaves inside ice cubes- doesn't really add any flavor, but it sure looks pretty!

What cocktails have you been mixing up lately?

TAKE A SIP: BEST BLUEBERRY MOJITO

 Normally recipe days are Tuesdays...but I just couldn't hold this one back, because it's too good!

 It's been in the seventies in Wisconsin, which means optimal Mojito weather. 

I mean...I guess any weather could be optimal Mojito weather, but I'm just going to use these 70+ degree days as an excuse to share this, mmmmkay?

Here's what you'll need to make it happen:

 - Mint leaves

- Blueberries

- 2 tsps Sugar or simple syrup*

- 2 ounces White Rum

- Sprite or Soda water**

- Ice

* if ya don't have simple syrup, granulated sugar will work!

** sprite if ya like it sweet, soda water if you don't/

 How to make it happen:

Step 1: Muddle a few mint leaves + blueberries with your sugar & rum

Step 2: Add ice & top with sprite

Step 3: Garnish with mint leaves + blueberries

Step 4: ENJOY!

So yeah.

It's basically just a regular mojito but with blueberries instead of limes. But daaaaang it's good!

 What's your mid-70s summer drink?

If you don't have one yet- I highly recommend a blueberry mojito!
