Happy National Rum Day {What a Long Strange Trip It's Been}


There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion. Lord Byron

If you had offered me Rum two years ago, I would've declined.... I really was never a Rum drinker.  That was before my first Dragonberry Mojito, which is kind of where this whole PDA {Public Display of Alcoholism} began.... well, my Rum journey has definitely been an evolution and I thought I would share that trip with you for NATIONAL RUM DAY {I was pretty shocked to see what a long strange trip it's been}!



My first Rum Love
The Dragonberry Mojito


My First Creation
The Blue Mojito
Taking it South
The Keylime Mojito

It goes with coffee too
The Jamaican Latte
Give a man a fish;
you have fed him for today.
Teach a man to fish;
and you have fed him for a lifetime”
—Author unknown
I've had a similar Mojito experience....
The Elderflower Mojito
I am now creating the alcohol
The LIMONCELLO MOJITO
This was a crowning moment for sure
THE CHAMPAGNE MOJITO
Just when I thought I had peaked...
Mint Sugared Glass
Lemon-Lime Mojito
Changing it up....
The Dark & Stormy

Classic Rum.... Do you like
PINA COLADAS?

Am I off the Mojitos and on to Classics?
THE RASPBERRY DAIQUIRI



Nahhhh, I heart my Mojitos
this is where I leave this year's celebration....
THE MILLIONAIRE {ZACAPA} MOJITO


SEE YOU NEXT YEAR...
SAME TIME SAME PLACE! XXOO

Celebrate National Daiquiri Day with a FABULOUS Raspberry Daiquiri

Raspberry Daiquiri
Must admit.... never had a Daiquiri before.... I see them ALL the time of my Foodie Buddy Anita's blog.... the Hungry Couple. In fact, pop over there after here and check out her collage de Daquiri!
So yummy & refreshing.... meet the Raspberry Daiquiri!
Worth the effort though to de-seed!

WHAT YOU NEED:
1/2 cup fresh raspberries, washed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup simple syrup
2 ounces rum
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cups ice

WHAT YOU DO:
Combine raspberries, lemon juice, and simple syrup ingredients in a blender {I of course used my Magic Bullet} and puree until smooth.  Then strain into clean bullet cup or blender; add ice, rum & lime juice.  Puree until smooth.
Garnish with lime wedge.

Sit back & relax!
