Hey Mommas!! Happy Friday to ya!! Hope you all have had a fabulous week and hopefully have some fun plans for the weekend!!
We have officially wrapped up our Spring/Summer 2017 Shows and we had a truly wonderful time meeting so many of you!! The shows are so much work for me as a momma trying to prep for while I take care of my little ones. Then of course, I have to rely on lots of help to watch my kids while I set up and work the shows. I really don't think any of this would be possible without Mr. Mojito. He is definitely the muscle behind all of the work that goes into these shows. Despite all of the hard work, you mommas really show us the love at these trade-shows and festivals and really make it all worth it for me! We love to have you mommas shopping with us!! With that said, we have officially wrapped up with the shows until the fall, and I'm pretty excited about spending the rest of the summer concentrating on my kiddos. That doesn't mean there still won't be lots of Momma Mojito fun coming your way!! In fact, we just released TWO brand new cactus shirts today that are seriously the cutest!! You can find them under the Tops tab in Apparel. You definitely want to check these out because they are going to go fast!
Even though summer is already halfway over and school will be starting in a month, I really feel like summer is just getting started for me. I have so many fun things planned to do with my kids which includes lots of pool time!! Speaking of, we are about to head to the pool as soon as I get done with this post, so I made a Watermelon Margarita to take with me in my Yeti cup that I'm pretty excited about!! ;) It seriously is sooo good and such a summery drink!! The recipe makes a whole pitcher worth so you can make for a crowd.....or put the pitcher in the fridge so your next drink is ready to pour when you are!! Ah-mazing. So make this delicious recipe this weekend and enjoy your last half of summer mommas!! I know I sure will!! See you next week!! Cheers mommas!! :)

MOMMA MOJITO'S WATERMELON MARGARITA
(makes appoximately 4 large servings or 8 small servings)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh watermelon
- 8 oz. Tequila of your choice (I used Tres Generaciones Reposado)
- 4 oz. Orange Juice
- 2 oz. Simple Syrup
- Juice of 2 Limes
- Salt or Sugar to coat rims of glasses
- Garnishes such as watermelon slices, lime slices, umbrellas, etc. Have fun with it!
Directions:
In the glasses of your choice, moisten the rim of the glasses with lime juice then dip in kosher salt or sugar---your choice! I used salt this time but it would be equally delicious with sugar. Now, set the glasses aside. In a large blender, fill about halfway up with ice. Pour in tequila, orange juice, simple syrup, and lime juice. Now, add the fresh watermelon. Blend thoroughly. Pour in glasses, garnish, and serve immediately. Enjoy mommas!
(Note that separation in the drink is normal with watermelon and doesn't affect the taste at all! Just re-stir as needed!)
