Hey mommas! Happy Friday to ya! Are you girls worn out from the holiday this week? It's kind of thrown my schedule off a bit, but that's okay! We had a super fun 4th hanging out in the pool and having a shrimp boil and oh girl, I love me a shrimp boil! It's super fun to make AND to eat. I'll have to post my shrimp boil recipe at some point. Would you girls be interested in that? Let me know if so down below in the comments!
On another note, I love going to the pool. Unfortunately, I haven't had that many opportunities this summer to go to the pool. But when I do, I love taking a delicious and easy cocktail for sipping. I also think it's a necessity to take it in a big Yeti cup because it stays cold and there's a lid because let's be honest....kids at the pool equals a whole lotta splashing! This picture above looks calm and relaxing, but it was the half second I spent at the pool uninterrupted and not completely soaked from kids saying "Hey momma watch this cannon ball!!!" Haha! :)
So here's my recipe for one of my go-to pool drinks that's perfect for serving up in a large stainless steel cup of your choice! Cheers mommas and here's to having at least a few minutes of peace the next time you're at the pool! ;)

MOMMA MOJITO'S CHERRY LIME POOL PUNCH
Ingredients:
- 3.5 oz Rum or Vodka (your choice)
- Sprite (to taste)
- 7-10 Maraschino Cherries
- 2 Large Splashes of the Juice from the Cherry Jar
- 1 Lime -- half of it cup in wedges and the other half juiced
- Splash of Grenadine
Directions:
In a large stainless steel cup, throw in the cherries and lime wedges. Pour the cherry juice over the top. Muddle with a muddler or a spoon until cherries and limes get smashed lightly. Next, add ice to your preference. Next, pour in the rum or vodka (whichever you prefer--both are great in this recipe!). Add the Grenadine and Lime Juice. Finally, pour in the Sprite to the top. Stir it all together and pop the lid on! Now head to the pool or wherever you're off to and enjoy! Cheers mommas!
