Summer is sadly coming to an end. Say goodbye to bikinis, long beach days and all of the “We should hangout this summer”‘s that never happened. My favorite thing to do on a summer day is lay by the pool with a big sun hat and a cocktail in hand. In a few weeks (or maybe months for those here in sunny California) pool side days will come to an end. My sun hat may have to take a short rest but you can bet your bottom dollar that I will still be enjoying a refreshing fruity cocktail from time to time. One of my favorite drinks to sip this summer was a fabulous Pineapple Mojito. I’ve created a recipe for this yummy drink so you can enjoy it all “not summer” long.
You will need:
– 1/2 of a lime
– 8 mint leaves
– 1/2 cup fresh cut pineapple
– 1 tsp sugar
-1/4 cup pineapple juice
– 1 can of club soda
– 4 oz white rum of your choice ( I used Bacardi)
Instructions:
1. Muddle mint leaves at the bottom of the glass
2. Add chopped pineapple and sugar
3. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the glass
4. Add a few ice cubes if desired
5. Add pineapple juice and Rum
6. Add club soda
7. Give your cocktail a stir
8. Garnish with slices of lime and slice of pineapple on the rim of the glass
9. Enjoy
