could not make it this year but

~Cheers to my northern buddies

thinking ahead!!

Mojito-- I made a pitcher yesterday

and lit the tiki torches out back

and sipped away!!

Wishful - I hope you didnt have to shovel snow off the spot for the tiki torches!!

Wow - you have mint???? Next time you%26#39;re mixing a pitcher give me a call!!!

I made up a Caipirnha which does not require the mint. I have the cachaca and limes and find it works for me until I can get mint again.

~~LOL..YES-- I did have to shovel off the

old stubborn stuff first.

Mint...OMG.. I went to Shaws%26#39;s, Wal-Mart

and then finally found a few limp bunches

at Hannaford. geeez..what an ordeal.

Now that you mention it I feel fortunate

to have found some. I%26#39;m going to look

you up the next time I am hanging around

the southern border of our chilled state.

~Cheers~

~~MrSki..

I know some serious Red Sox fans in the

Tampa area so rest assured. These folks

are our KW travel buddies...aka..good folks!!!

No matter whomever your team is..they%26#39;re

allllll good if they love KW..right?

You know what we need to do is get a trip to KW planned for Red Sox Nation! We%26#39;ll go to the Sox friendly Lazy Gecko to watch a game and raise our mojitos to toast Manny and David Ortiz at bat. What a hoot!

is that a mint julep bucket we%26#39;re talking bout?

we usually have a few over the summer sitting around the campfire...

~~Well I am no expert but a Mojito is

generally:

rum, sugar, club soda, mint

leaves and fresh lime.

I muddle (crush with a stick like thing)

the mint leaves in with the sugar (or simple

syrup) and limes. Once its blended and leaves

are a satisfactory size I start pouring the

rum and then top it off with a splash of

club soda. Ahhhhhhh...so refereshing.

You may use fancy rum or Bacardi which

works fine. If it sets for awhile it

gets even better when the flavors meld.

Mr Mojito will likely have his own

version.
