Sorry for the long radio silence. Today, I bring you a drink that Scott invented tonight, the Michigan Mojito, which takes advantage of our lovely Michigan cherries.
As you can see, we had a good harvest of cherries today, and there may be an equal amount left on our little tree. A huge improvement over last year's harvest of 0 cherries.
Michigan Mojito
1 tbsp sugar
5-6 mint leaves
5 pitted tart cherries
1/2 lime
2 oz rum
Club soda
In a tall glass, muddle mint, cherries, and lime in sugar. Add rum and stir. Fill glass with ice, top with club soda, and stir.
The verdict: Tasty! Imagine a Mojito crossed with cherry limeaid.
