Strawberry Mojito
Every Thursday we celebrate Thirsty Thursday at Intercross! We hope you enjoy our employee-chosen recipes. Each employee will be sharing their creativity with you, by sharing their drink of choice. This week features Strawberry Mojitos from our Managing Partner, Diana Maples:
“It’s time for Happy Hour with Strawberry Mojitos. Light and refreshing on a hot summer day. (Don’t worry — Hadron and the other office dogs were not allowed a lick.) And who knows? There may be a future Happy Hour at Intercross that you can join in on. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, from our team to yours — Cheers!”
Strawberry Mojitos for a Crowd
- white sugar, for rimming
- 4 large limes, quartered
- bunch mint leaves
- 14 strawberries, quartered
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 cups white rum
- 4 cups club soda
- 16 cups ice cubes
- Pour 1/4 to 1/2 inch of sugar onto a small, shallow plate. Run one of the lime quarters around the rim of each cocktail glass, then dip the glasses into the sugar to rim; set aside.
- Squeeze all of the lime quarters into a sturdy glass pitcher. Toss the juiced limes into the pitcher along with the mint, strawberries, and 1 cup of sugar. Crush the fruits together with a muddler or potato masher to release the juices from the strawberries and the oil from the mint leaves. Stir in the rum and club soda until the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour into the sugared glasses over ice cubes to serve.
