If you are a Champagne lover like me, how do you celebrate National Mojito Day? You create your own mojito using your favorite champagne.

I have an Always5Star recipe that will satisfy your mojito and champagne cravings! Simple, easy and fast – and very refreshing on a hot summer day.

Cheers!

Ingredients

• 1 bottle Champagne or sparkling wine (I prefer a Prosecco with this recipe) 
• 1 cup diced strawberries 
• 12-14 mint leaves 
• 4 teaspoons “extra fine” sugar 
• 4 ounces fresh lime juice 
• 4 ounces white rum

Directions

In a glass place:

1/4 cup of strawberries 
3 mint leaves 
1 teaspoon “extra fine” sugar (make sure that the sugar says “extra fine”) 
1 ounce of lime juice

Crush all the above ingredients with a muddler 
Stir in 1 ounce of your favorite white rum 
Top with Champagne – pouring slowly as to not have the glass overflow.

Garnish with strawberries and fresh mint leaves, and a lemon or lime if desired. Makes approximately four servings.

Voilà! You have just made a Champagne Strawberry Mojito!
