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

you have fed him for today.

and you have fed him for a lifetime”

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

You knew this was coming..... {Elderflower Mojito}

Elderflower Mojito
I'm not going to lie, I've been thinking of this since I bought my St~Germain.  I just needed mint.... and apparently someone to get it for me.  Well, it all came together today.  Thanks Barbie for the mint and the Fluff for Kyra.  All is well.  Wish you coulda stayed for a maiden Mojito.... you'll have to come back.
So, here's what you need
1 1/2 oz. white rum {I used Bacardi}
1 oz St~Germain
1 oz Simple Syrup
8 mint leaves
4 lemon slices halved

Muddle to perfection
fill appropriate glass with ice
top with 2 oz club soda and.... you know, AHHHH

p.s. 
I've finally remembered to put an order in with Farmer PopPop to grow mint.... I mean my mint bill annually is akin to a utility bill, we need to grow it

What's for dinner Mom? {Key Lime Mojito Recipe}



MEET OUR DINNER.....  

MEET MY DRINK

HELLO KEY LIME MOJITO
I think you know the recipe for my dinner.....
here's how you make the drink

2 parts Rum {I had Bacardi} 
1 part simple syrup*
1 part Key Lime Juice
8 mint leaves
1 key lime sliced



fill appropriate glass with ice
top with club soda and....

AHHHHH, who cares that dinner is frozen!


*simple syrup can be bought at most grocery and/or liquor stores or you can make it by combining equal parts water & sugar and bringing to a boil and then removing immediately from heat and cooling.  I usually do 1 cup water to 1 cup sugar and store in an airtight glass jar in the fridge {it lasts a while}
