It's Friday Cocktail Time! Momma Mojito's MIL's Whiskey Slush Edition!

Hey mommas! Happy Friday to ya! How are you girls holding up with this heat wave?! It's sweltering hot here with heat indexes hovering in the 115 degree range.  Now I'm all for some hot weather but geez...that is HOT.  But you know what goes great with hot weather?! ICE COLD COCKTAILS.

My sweet MIL makes the most wonderful ice cold drink called Whiskey Slush.  It's super cold and oh so delicious.  She's made it for years, but for some reason I hadn't had the pleasure of drinking it yet until last weekend at my niece's birthday party.  We were outside hanging out by the pool all day, and oh girl let met tell ya....whiskey slush is the PERFECT summer cocktail to have in your Yeti while you float.  I didn't take a picture of this glorious drink because I'm a goober and apparently was more concerned with drinking it than taking its picture! Lol! So you girls are just going to have to use your imagination, but trust me...you need to make this one stat! It's definitely a must for getting through this heat wave.  So here it is girls...Momma Mojito's MIL's Whiskey Slush! Enjoy and stay cool out there mommas!

It's Friday Cocktail Time! Gin Basil Fizz Edition!

Hey mommas! Happy Friday to you all! Hope you all had a wonderful week! I can't believe it's already halfway through July which means only a few weeks left of summer! How did it go by so fast?

It's been a busy but great summer for us here at the Mojito House.  Last weekend, I got to take my daughter to Mom & Daughter Girl Scout Camp and we had the greatest time! It was super hot, but so much fun!  I love getting some special time with her.  I'm sure there's going to come a day when she's not so interested in hanging out with her momma, so I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

This summer, I've been trying to do some more gardening than I did last year.  So far, it hasn't gone the greatest...haha.  I grew some huge, gorgeous and healthy tomato plants only to have them ravaged by Tomato Hockworms...which I had never heard of until this summer.  I also grew some basil, but it grew fast and furious and now it's on its way out unfortunately.  However before it goes, I'm trying to get as much use out of it as I can because I absolutely love basil.  It's so delicious in so many dishes, but it's also fabulous in cocktails!  So I snipped a handful and smashed in a glass with some lemon, gin, and club soda and it made the most delicious boozy lemonade-type drink ever.  Go ahead and give it a whirl.  You're going to love it! Cheers mommas and see you next week!

It's Friday Cocktail Time! Cherry Lime Pool Punch Edition!

Hey mommas! Happy Friday to ya! Are you girls worn out from the holiday this week?  It's kind of thrown my schedule off a bit, but that's okay! We had a super fun 4th hanging out in the pool and  having a shrimp boil and oh girl, I love me a shrimp boil! It's super fun to make AND to eat.  I'll have to post my shrimp boil recipe at some point.  Would you girls be interested in that? Let me know if so down below in the comments!

On another note, I love going to the pool.  Unfortunately, I haven't had that many opportunities this summer to go to the pool.  But when I do, I love taking a delicious and easy cocktail for sipping.  I also think it's a necessity to take it in a big Yeti cup because it stays cold and there's a lid because let's be honest....kids at the pool equals a whole lotta splashing! This picture above looks calm and relaxing, but it was the half second I spent at the pool uninterrupted and not completely soaked from kids saying "Hey momma watch this cannon ball!!!" Haha! :)

So here's my recipe for one of my go-to pool drinks that's perfect for serving up in a large stainless steel cup of your choice! Cheers mommas and here's to having at least a few minutes of peace the next time you're at the pool! ;)

 MOMMA MOJITO'S CHERRY LIME POOL PUNCH

Ingredients:

3.5 oz Rum or Vodka (your choice)

Sprite (to taste)

7-10 Maraschino Cherries

2 Large Splashes of the Juice from the Cherry Jar

1 Lime -- half of it cup in wedges and the other half juiced

Splash of Grenadine

Directions:

In a large stainless steel cup, throw in the cherries and lime wedges.  Pour the cherry juice over the top.  Muddle with a muddler or a spoon until cherries and limes get smashed lightly.  Next, add ice to your preference.  Next, pour in the rum or vodka (whichever you prefer--both are great in this recipe!).  Add the Grenadine and Lime Juice.  Finally, pour in the Sprite to the top.  Stir it all together and pop the lid on! Now head to the pool or wherever you're off to and enjoy! Cheers mommas!

It's Friday Cocktail Time! July 4th Juice!

Hey mommas! Happy weekend before July 4th to ya! I know it's a Saturday and Fridays are usually the days I post new cocktail recipes! We are undergoing MAJOR changes here at Momma Mojito, so I hope you mommas will forgive me for being off my routine a little bit!

Since Momma Mojito became a registered trademark, I've got big plans ahead for this company that will undoubtedly be for the better.  However, it's going to take some adjustments around here.  So if you browse around on the website, you'll see that the majority (not all!) of our inventory is sold out.  While I understand that can be a bit frustrating, please bear with us through this time as we adapt and add new fresh things to the site soon.  Also if I'm a little quieter on social media, don't fret.  I'm still around and busier than ever.  We'll get back on a normal routine soon enough and be better than ever.

In the meantime, let's talk cocktails...more specifically cocktails for July 4th.  Now you could try my delicious Red, White, & Blue Mojito or you could try my new patriotic cocktail!  It's a low-calorie and yummy option for the 4th that's not too sweet so feel free to enjoy one in your swimsuit! ;) Here it is mommas! Cheers and happy 4th of July!!

xo, Momma Mojito

 MOMMA MOJITO'S JULY 4TH JUICE

Ingredients:

1 oz Blue Curacao

.5 oz - .75 oz Grenadine (depending on your sweet preference)

Truly Spiked Lemon to taste (see pic below if you are unsure of what this is...it's a spiked sparkling water that is yummy and low-calorie! You can also substitute any Lemon-Flavored Spiked Sparkling Water)

Maraschino Cherry for Garnish

Directions:

In a highball glass filled with ice, pour in Grenadine first.  Next, pour in the Blue Curacao.  Finally add the Truly Spiked Lemon to the top.  Stir if desired; however, the colors will mix and not be defined.  Garnish with the Maraschino Cherry.  Cheers!

It's Friday Cocktail Time! Pineapple Cooler Edition

Hey mommas! Happy Friday to you girls! Hope you all had a wonderful week.  Yesterday was the official first day of summer, although it really feels like summer to me as soon as school lets out.  I'm sure you mommas are the same way.

Something very big and exciting happened this week at Momma Mojito! After a very long legal battle, Momma Mojito is officially and finally a registered United States trademark!  It's something I have been working hard on ever since I began this venture.  I knew I wanted to have Momma Mojito trademarked, but it hasn't been without its challenges that's for sure.  So this week, when I got the notice that it had finally been approved and published (after almost 2 years of waiting!), I was absolutely overjoyed.  I couldn't believe it.  I am still pretty ecstatic about it. :)

To celebrate Momma Mojito finally being a registered trademark and the official start to summer, I made a super yummy and festive cocktail that you're going to love.  It's easy to make even though it looks difficult!  It's called a Pineapple Cooler and it's served in a pineapple of course!  So here it is girls, enjoy and have a great weekend! Cheers!

xo, Momma Mojito® (see what I did there ;) )

 MOMMA MOJITO'S PINEAPPLE COOLER

Ingredients/Supplies:

1 hollowed out pineapple (save as much of the juice as you can, and of course save the fruit for snacking!)

1 oz Malibu Rum

1 oz Pineapple Rum

Juice of Half a Lime

4 oz Pineapple Juice (if you don't have enough from the actual pineapple, add some canned pineapple juice!)

Cocktail Umbrella and Paper Straw for Garnish

Directions:

In the hollowed-out pineapple, fill with ice.  (TIP-- if you notice your pineapple is leaking through the skin then place a Solo plastic cup inside first...it fits perfectly and you can cut the top off if you want to hide it!)  Next, fill with rums, lime juice, and pineapple juice.  Stir.  Garnish with the cocktail umbrella and paper straw! Cheers! (Best enjoyed in the pool, lake, ocean....just saying!) :)

It's Friday Cocktail Time! Peach Mojito Edition!

Hey mommas! Happy Friday to you girls! Hope you all are having a great summer so far! It's been a super busy one for me! We have been out of town for basically all of summer so far, and now that we are finally back home it feels so good! I am so excited to get some time with my kiddos at the pool and just catching up on lost time during the school year.

This week, the kids and I headed to our local farmer's market to stock up on all sorts of yummy fruits and veggies.  We had the greatest time talking to all the farmers. :) Also, my kids tend to eat better when they get a say on what I buy.  One of the things they insisted that we load up on was all of the yummy fresh peaches.  Oh my goodness, I am sooooo glad we did.  I love fresh peaches in the summertime.  Is there anything better?  So with our large bushel of delicious peaches, I have been trying to make myself utilize them in some recipes instead of just devouring them whole...although truth be told, I love to do that too.  Peaches are wonderful in so many desserts, but did you know they are also fabulous in cocktails?  It's true.  The sweetness with just a bit of tart makes for a perfect summer drink.  So first up on peach cocktail making is of course....the mojito.  Peach Mojitos are juicy and refreshing.  I highly recommend trying one this weekend girls and enjoy the fruits of summer!  Cheers and see you next week!

It's Friday Cocktail Time! Malibu Mule Edition!

Hey mommas! Happy Friday to ya!! Hope you girls are enjoying your summer break so far. I know I sure am.  I'm sure I'll get tired of not having any personal time before too long, but for now I am loving having my babies home.  We've been getting lots of extra snuggle time in this week, and that's definitely my favorite part about having them home for summer.

We were out of town last weekend for Memorial Day for part of the weekend, and we came home to a pretty bare pantry.  While my husband was grilling up some things we had scrounged together out of the fridge, I was really craving a cocktail but I wasn't sure what I even had to make a cocktail with!  Out of a little bit of desperation and some creativity, this delicious cocktail was born.  And girls, I am so glad it did.  I call it a Malibu Mule.  It's a take on a Moscow Mule but with a summery vibe! It is oh so good.  Don't you love those times you have nothing in your house, but somehow you make something fabulous out of it?! Heck yeah!

I'll be making this cocktail all summer long....empty pantry or not! It is THAT good.  Try it out this weekend.  I know you're going to love it too! Cheers mommas!

 MOMMA MOJITO'S MALIBU MULE

In a copper mug filled with ice, pour in lemon juice, rum, pineapple juice, and ginger beer.  Give it a slight stir.  Throw in the lemon half that you used for juicing for extra flavor and garnish as well as a sprig of mint! YUM! Cheers!

Hey mommas!! Happy 3-Day weekend to you all!!! Who's super excited for a long weekend?! I know I sure am!!  As I am heading out of town for a super fun bachelorette weekend for a life-long friend of mine, I am extra excited!!

Memorial Day is such a great weekend, not only because school is out for summer.  But it's also a great time to get together with friends and family and have some fun together, maybe swim, or do some grilling.  Memorial Day is always a fun weekend!  It feels like it's the start of summer and that's pretty exciting! It's really important to remember those that have sacrificed their lives for our ability to have weekends like these.  It really is true that we live in the land of the free because of the brave.  It's something I feel passionate about and that's why I came up with my "Momma Loves Her Troop" tee.  It's not only a great way to show everybody how you love your own family, but it also supports the families of our troops as well.  Every single cent that I make off of these tees, I give straight to the Wounded Warriors Family Support which benefits families of our troops who have either been killed or injured while fighting for our country.  After all, it's not just the troops that our sacrificing for our country, but their families are sacrificing as well.  I'm proud to announce that this weekend, not only am I giving all of the proceeds of the sales of these tees to this wonderful cause but I am also giving $10 extra for every single "Momma Loves Her Troop" tee right out of my own pocket.  So go ahead mommas, buy away.  I would be over the moon if these tees sold like hotcakes and I had to donate hundreds or thousands of dollars to this worthy cause!! Speaking of, if you'd like to just donate straight to the Wounded Warriors Family Support, then visit their website : https://www.wwfs.org/ .

So in honor of those who have served our country, thank you beyond measure.  Mommas, here is a festive Blueberry & Strawberry Mojito just for this occasion in beautiful red, white, & blue!! Cheers mommas and happy Memorial Day weekend!! :)

It's Friday Cocktail Time! The Mai Tai Edition!

Hey mommas! Happy Friday to ya!! Can you believe that summer is almost here?! I'm so excited! I looooove warm weather.  Seriously.  100 degrees doesn't really even phase me.  I'll take it all day, every day over freezing temperatures.  Plus, is there really anything better than a deliciously cold cocktail on a super hot summer day?! ;)

I have a feeling I'll be needing one this weekend for sure.  I'm spending my Friday and part of Saturday being a volunteer for my daughter's Girl Scout camping trip.  I know what you all are thinking.  I'm not a camper.  You're totally right.  I'm more of a cabin type of girl.  I like to sleep in a normal bed and use a normal bathroom.  Somehow though, I'm always forced to camp against my will! Haha! No but seriously...my entire family loves camping.  We always camped constantly growing up and now I married a man who loves to camp.  Of course, my kids also love camping.  So I suck it up and camp a LOT.  You'd think I'd be a regular pro by now, but I still tend to complain though every time.  I'm sorry, but camping is NOT a vacation.  Camping is work!! There's so much packing up a ton of supplies just to be able to function somewhat.  Then you get there, and you have to unload and set it all up.  Then you have to figure out how to cook a meal without any normal everyday conveniences like a stove and an oven.  Next, you have to figure out how to wash all said cooking supplies without a sink.  After that, you go sleep on a makeshift bed that's essentially on the cold ground and try to get a few hours of uncomfortable sleep all the while wondering what in the world that noise was outside your tent!  Surely, I'm not alone in thinking that camping is more trouble than it's worth, right?! Lol. I do think it's a ton of work, but I love seeing how happy it makes my kids.  So I'll suck it up this weekend and put on my happy face for my girl and her girl scout troop.  But between you mommas and me, I'll be wishing I at least had a glass of wine or a cold cocktail! ;)

On to more laid back topics, summer is the perfect time for a whole host of yummy tiki-inspired cocktails.  There are so many delicious fruits that are at their prime right now making them perfect additions to cocktails.  Plus, it's so hot that just about anything on ice tastes like heaven.  One of my favorite tiki cocktails is the Mai Tai.  Those of you that have followed along with me know that rum is my favorite liquor of course, and the Mai Tai is all about the rum.  It's a strong cocktail, but easy to drink nonetheless.  The flavors blend together perfectly, and it just tastes like summer.  I think my favorite part of this cocktail is the almond flavor!! YUM!! So here it is mommas...my delicious Mai Tai.  Mix one up this evening and enjoy it for me as I'm setting up tents and sleeping on the ground!! :)

xo, Momma Mojito

 MOMMA MOJITO'S MAI TAI

Ingredients:

1 oz. Dark Rum

1 oz. Amber Rum

2 tbsps Orange Juice

.5 oz. Triple Sec

Juice of Half a Lime

1 Drop of Almond Extract (or you can use Orgeat Syrup if you can locate it but Almond Extract works great too!)

1 tsp Fine Raw Granulated Sugar

Dash of Grenadine

Spent Lime Half and Mint Sprig for Garnish

Directions:

In a cocktail shaker filled with crushed ice, pour in all ingredients except garnishes.  Shake until shaker is starting to get frosty...about 30 seconds.  Do not strain.  Pour entire contents into a glass of your choice.  Garnish with the half of the lime that you juiced and a sprig of mint (pat it in your hand a couple times to bring out the flavor!).  Cheers mommas!

I's Friday Cocktail Time! The White Wine Punch Edition!

Happy Friday to ya mommas and happy Mother's Day weekend!! I'm so excited that the weekend is finally here and I know you mommas are too! Mommas definitely all need a day for a little extra appreciation and love.  I totally get it...you have kids to take care of, a house, job, pets, a spouse...and so much more to deal with on a daily basis.  So all you mommas deserve a day to be shown how much you're loved and appreciated.

I got to celebrate a little early with my kids yesterday at their school for "Morning with Mom."  It was so super sweet seeing how proud and excited my kids were to show me all the things they had been working so hard on for me.  My fridge is now filled with all their beautiful Mother's Day artworks.  :) Mr. Mojito does a really great job of making me feel super special on Mother's Day as well.  He actually already surprised me early with a beautiful bouquet of flowers! My dining room looks so pretty with them and not to mention how heavenly it smells.

Mommas could also probably all use a cocktail on Mother's Day.  After all, mommas do put up with a lot and have more than their fair share of stress.  But have you ever bought a bottle of wine that you thought was going to be delicious and then you try it and it's anything but?  Ugh.  That's the worst.  It takes a lot for me to not like a wine, and one white wine that I bought here recently took the cake.  Yuck.  However, it dawned on me that I could turn this icky wine into something delicious -- a cocktail!  So here it is girls! My delicious and thrifty White Wine Punch! Cheers to all of you mommas, and I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!

xo, Momma Mojito

(ps, our Mother's Day email promo is still going strong all weekend long -- take $10 off your purchase of $30 or more with code TAKETENFORMOMMAS at checkout!)

Hey mommas! Happy Friday!! Hope you all had a fabulous week! It's sure been a busy week around my house! Mr. Mojito is hard at work this week building a rock patio in our backyard, and I am pretty darn excited about it! I can't wait to sit out there when the weather gets nice and relax in a lawn chair with an ice cold cocktail in hand.  Eek! I'm getting excited just thinking about it!

If you didn't already know it, next week on Thursday, February 22nd is National Margarita Day which is my 2nd favorite drink holiday behind National Mojito Day of course!! Over the year and a half I have been writing this cocktail blog, I've given you quite a few margarita recipes...BUT I haven't given you my frozen margarita recipe yet! Well, in honor of National Margarita Day, I now present to you my delicious, quick, and oh so easy Frozen Margarita!! Enjoy mommas and I will see you next week! ;)

 MOMMA MOJITO'S FROZEN MARGARITA (a pitcher's worth)

Ingredients:

1 6 oz. can of Minute Maid Frozen Limeade  (sometimes the 6oz. size is hard to find--you can make it with the 12oz. size and just double the rest of the ingredients and this will make 2 pitchers worth--otherwise just pour half of the 12oz. can out and save for another use.)

6 oz. Agave Silver Tequila (just use the limeade can for measuring!

3 oz. Triple Sec or your favorite Orange Liqueur

1 tbsp. of Agave Syrup (more if you like it super sweet or omit if you don't want any sweetness)

Fresh Lime Juice to Taste (I think the juice of one lime is enough but you be the judge)

Ice (about 4-5 cups is good)

Kosher Salt for the Rim

Lime Wedge or Slice for Garnish

Directions:

Pour out some of the kosher salt in a saucer or on a plate.  Run a sliced lime over the rim of your margarita glasses and then dip the glasses into the salt all along the rim until coated.  Set aside.  In a blender, pour in the limeade, tequila, triple sec, and agave syrup.  Next, add the ice.  Blend until smooth.  You may need to stop the blender a couple times for stirring.  Add enough ice until frozen and smooth, not watery.  Pour into the glasses and garnish with a slice of lime.  Enjoy!

It's Friday Cocktail Time! Real Life Edition!

Okay, mommas.  Normally I try to post a fresh new cocktail recipe every week for you all.  Every once in a while, I get a little behind.  But for the most part, I'm pretty good about it.  And I absolutely love writing on here.  It's one of my favorite parts of my job.

But real life here for a second...I am super stressed out and so damn busy.  Like every day is a freaking sprint from dawn until midnight.  I'm exhausted.  I had every intention of making a "Club Special" for you today, but you mommas know how some days go.  One kid is sick, the other has sport events, one animal needs to go to the vet, someone needs something washed for one thing or another.  It's always something in our house.  And this momma is overworked and way behind on a million things.  Business here has been absolutely amazing, and while I do have some help here and there, I'm still mostly a one-woman show.  So since I have been swamped with packing orders and #momlife today, I won't be posting a new cocktail today.  Just a pic of real life....my backyard with my babies drinking an Angry Orchard Rosé...which by the way tastes just like a Jolly Rancher! :)

So mommas, I hope you all get a chance this weekend to sit back and enjoy a cold one on your porch while you watch your kiddos play.  Relax and enjoy just being present.  Cheers mommas!

It's Friday Cocktail Time! The Modern Gin & Cucumber Gimlet Edition!

Hey mommas!! Happy Friday to ya!! I'm extra excited for the weekend, because I get to spend it with some of you girls!! I'm having a pop-up shop tomorrow with Gem and Ivy in downtown Shawnee, OK from 11-5.  I'm so excited for you mommas to see all of these Spring Collection pretties in person! I even have some never-before-seen arrivals too! Eek!! So fun!! So make sure to come see me tomorrow, and I'll even give you a little discount if you mention you read my blog! Yay! :)

Because I'm going to be out at the pop-up tomorrow, I have a million things going on today to do some last-minute prep for it.  So, I'm cutting straight to the chase with this delicious and refreshing Gin & Cucumber Gimlet, but a modern and updated version (from the classic version I posted a while back) that eliminates the Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice and is a bit fresher and stronger.  It's a breeze to make, and it's a breeze to drink.  So crisp and light, it's just right for springtime.  Pour yourself one this lovely Friday afternoon and enjoy! Cheers mommas and hope to see you tomorrow!

Cucumber Slice, Lime Wedge, & Mint Sprig for Garnish (**Note--I also added some cucumber peels to my glass before putting ice in as well just for the look!**)

Directions:

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour in gin, simple syrup, lime juice, and the 4 slices of cucumber.  Cover and shake until chilled.  Strain into a cocktail glass of your choice that is filled with ice and maybe even some cucumber peels like I did.  Top up with tonic water.  Garnish with a slice of cucumber, a wedge of lime, and a sprig of mint.  Cheers!

 **You can try my take on the Classic Cucumber Lime Gimlet here and compare to see which one you like the best.  I have to admit--this one is my fave! ;) **
