Mango Mojitos
I am clinging on to summer for dear life. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the fall, I just hate that season whose name we won’t speak that follows it.
I figure if I keep posting summer recipes I can hang on a little longer.
And we can thank our friend Mike’s mom, Mrs. Truckenmiller, for this one. I forget the exact measurements, but this is the gist of it:
Mango Mojito
(Makes four small drinks. If you’re my kind of people you’ll double this. Or triple it. No judgement.)
You’ll need:
several fresh mint leaves
6 oz rum
2 cups club soda
4 oz simple syrup (2 parts sugar 1 part water, mixed over heat to dissolve the sugar)
4 oz mango nectar
Muddle the mint, mix all ingredients together and serve over ice. And party at your friend’s lake houses until you’re absolutely forced to take refuge inside.

This looks awesome and I love using fruit nectars… and you can count on me making a few pitchers of this when I throw my next Mexican inspired party!

I’m with you on stretching out summer as long as possible! So I’ll mix up a batch of these later today, pass ‘em around and start the Summer Stretch Fest! People do “Christmas in July” so why not try a “beach party in January” (for those in colder climates)?
I like the new look guys but still partial to the old avatar
Cheers!
