How to make frozen summer mojitos?
The recipe is fairly easy. It starts with making the lime and mint ice cubes.
Step 1: To a silicone ice cube tray add fresh mint leaves, Simply Limeade and fresh lime juice. Because you know the drill- if it’s not fresh I don’t want it. Allow the ice cubes to freeze for 4-6 hours. (since this is a frozen drink, the ice cubes don’t have to be fully frozen. 6 hours will give the perfect slushy effect)
Step 2: Once frozen, add the ice cubes to a blender with white rum, simple syrup, more mint, limeade and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Pour into a chilled glasses, and top with club soda or sprite, if desired. Garnish with fresh mint and a lime wheel and enjoy!
Make it a mocktail
make it a mocktail by opting out of the rum and replacing with a N/A rum or just the lime juice.
