Strawberry Mojito Slushies Recipe
Servings: 3 8-ounce drinks
Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped strawberries, stems removed, about 1 pound
- about 3 Tablespoons simple syrup, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, directions on how to prepare below
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup citrus rum, optional
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups ice
Instructions
- Add strawberries, simple syrup, rum and ice to a blender and pulse until blended and ice is crushed. Pour into three 8 ounce glasses and serve with straws and garnish with mint.
How to make simple syrup:
- It's really easy, just mix equal parts granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan or pot and bring to a boil. Mix until the sugar has dissolved and then remove from heat. Add 5 to 8 mint leaves and allow to cool completely. The stronger the mint flavor you want in your mojitos, the longer you should infuse the mint leaves. It should only take a few minutes to make simple syrup! You'll have extra so you can store this in the fridge for a few days.
