It's Friday Cocktail Time! Peach Mojito Edition!

Leslie Baker ·

Hey mommas! Happy Friday to you girls! Hope you all are having a great summer so far! It's been a super busy one for me! We have been out of town for basically all of summer so far, and now that we are finally back home it feels so good! I am so excited to get some time with my kiddos at the pool and just catching up on lost time during the school year.

This week, the kids and I headed to our local farmer's market to stock up on all sorts of yummy fruits and veggies.  We had the greatest time talking to all the farmers. :) Also, my kids tend to eat better when they get a say on what I buy.  One of the things they insisted that we load up on was all of the yummy fresh peaches.  Oh my goodness, I am sooooo glad we did.  I love fresh peaches in the summertime.  Is there anything better?  So with our large bushel of delicious peaches, I have been trying to make myself utilize them in some recipes instead of just devouring them whole...although truth be told, I love to do that too.  Peaches are wonderful in so many desserts, but did you know they are also fabulous in cocktails?  It's true.  The sweetness with just a bit of tart makes for a perfect summer drink.  So first up on peach cocktail making is of course....the mojito.  Peach Mojitos are juicy and refreshing.  I highly recommend trying one this weekend girls and enjoy the fruits of summer!  Cheers and see you next week!

It's been a pretty hectic week around here at the Momma Mojito HQ! We've been so busy getting ready for our launch that we are more than ready for this Friday Cocktail Time!! We decided it was time to bring out the champagne for this edition!! Every girl loves champagne right??  And sometimes ya just gotta celebrate!!

Champagne is delicious just on its own but it's also really fun to throw some interesting pretty things in it and make it taste that much better!! So I decided to do my own take on mixing champagne into a mojito!! Why yes a MOJITO!! Sound strange? It is.  It's also sooo delicious!! It has all the yummy crisp flavors of a Mojito just a little more bubbly and a little less sweet!! You have to try this one!! Champagne Mojito?! YES PLEASE!

So here's the yummy recipe girls!! See ya tonight at Midnight!! Oh, and don't forget ALL orders through October get a FREE Mojito recipe card that you'll definitely want to keep handy in your bar/kitchen!!! Cheers everyone!!

MOMMA MOJITO'S CHAMPAGNE MOJITO

Ingredients:

  • Brut Champagne
  • 1/2 oz. Bacardi White Rum
  • 1/4 oz. Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice
  • 1 Small Lime sliced (preferably Key Limes!)
  • Mint for garnish

Directions:

In a champagne flute, throw 3 small lime slices in the bottom of the flute.  Next, add the sweetened lime juice.  It's important that you use the sweetened lime juice because you need just a tad bit of sweet to balance out the lime and rum.  Next, add the Bacardi Rum.  Then, add that glorious champagne all the way to the top...it ends up being about 2/3 to 1/2 the glass depending on the size of your champagne flute.  Finally, add a lime wheel and a big sprig of mint to the top and you are done!! Time to celebrate!!!
