Ahhh...summer coctails! I'm not going to lie the minute the weather changes off comes the cover from the grill, and with it summer coctail season has begun.
There is something simply wonderful about a cool refreshing drink on a hot summers day. Add a jigger..or two...of your favorite libation to that, and I'll bet that's a recipe for a pretty good day.
The drink I put together is a combination of my two favorite summer beverages; iced tea and a mojito.
Recipe:
2 strawberries; sliced in 4's
6 sprigs fresh mint
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup iced tea(I prefer fresh brewed sun tea. Today I made pomegranate green tea).
1 jigger whisky (Makers Mark personal preference )
Ice
Sweetner,optional
In your favorite coctail glass you will want to start by adding the mint and strawberries. "Muddle" these together. If you don't have a muddler the back of a spoon will suffice. You essentially want your strawberries and mint crushed up a bit.
Next add half a cup of ice for which you will add your whiskey and iced tea. At this point you may also add a sweetner if you are looking for more of a sweet tea.
Stir and as my grandma would say Igawdu (Enjoy)!
