Blended Cherry Mojitos Recipes

BLENDED CHERRY MOJITOS

Steps:

• Put the frozen cherries, crushed ice, mint leaves, lime juice, rum, and simple syrup in a blender. Blend until smooth.
• Pour the mixture into chilled glasses and top with crushed ice. Garnish with lime wedges and cherries.
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and lime zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for 20 minutes. Strain before using.

BLENDER MOJITOS

Steps:

• Throw the mint leaves and the sugar into a pitcher. Smoosh it around a bit with a spoon to get a bit of the mint oil out of the leaves. Roll the limes on the counter to help release the juice, slice them in half, and squeeze into the pitcher. You can even press a spoon into the lime halves to eke out every last bit of juice, if you want.
• Now the most important step: ADD THE RUM! :)
• Next: If you're camping and your guy is waiting outside with the awesome hand-crank blender at the ready, take the pitcher outside for the next step. Or you can do this with your blender inside, too.
• Fill the blender with 4-5 cups of ice cubes. Pour half the mojito mixture in, and blend on a low speed for 5-10 seconds, just until the mint has been chopped and the ice is a little smaller.
• Divide the mixture between two large glasses, top with club soda to taste. Pour the second half in the blender, and do it again.
• Now just drop straws in, pass 'em out, and let the party begin!
