Are you enjoying the strawberry season like I do?  I certainly hope so.  Today, I want to share this super fun cocktail with you that combined 2 of my favorite things, strawberries and Mojito!

In a traditional Mojito, this cocktail consists of white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint.  It’s a super refreshing cocktail that has a combination of sweetness, refreshing citrus and mint that complement the potent of the rum.  The soda water adds a little evanescent that takes this refreshing cocktail to another level.

In my version of Mojito, not only that I muddle in some fresh strawberries along with the mint leaves, there’s also a strawberry simple syrup along with a giant strawberry ice sphere that makes this drink looks super cool, in my opinion!  Pun intended!

Don’t you love the vibrant color of this drink?  I absolutely love how gorgeous it looks and it tastes just as amazing!  It’s slightly sweet and the tartness from the fresh lime juice and strawberries balanced well with each other.

I'm really blessed to have the most wonderful Mother and Mother-In-Law in the whole wide world.  They have the kindest and most generous hearts, truly, they are my role models.  They are the most beautiful women I've ever known, both inside and out.  Whenever I need someone to talk to or need advises, they're always there for me.  I can't say enough great things about them, and no words can describe how grateful I am to have them in my life.  So, to my Mother and Mother-In-Law, "thank you, for being the wonderful Mothers in my life and I love you!"

Let me show you how to prepare this Strawberry and Lime Sparkle.  It’s so simple to make it’ll be ready in just 5 minutes.  First, muddle the mint leaves with a wooden spoon in a large pitcher.

Next step, add the agave.  You can use other sweetener but I love the slightly floral aroma from the agave and it blends in and dissolves perfectly with the rest of the ingredients.

Then, add in the diced strawberries and give it a quick stir.

Last but not least, pour in some chilled club soda, tonic water, or sparkling mineral water.  Then enjoy the hot weather with this chilled and refreshing drink on hand.
