STRAWBERRY PEACH MOJITO

peaking of Netflix; is anyone else already awaiting Orange is the New Black Season 5!?! Ahhhhhhh, the suspense is killing me with the way Season 4 ended. Don’t worry, I won’t give any spoilers.
Whenever I get into binge watching a series I always have my go-to snacks and beverages on hand. I don’t really drink alcohol on the regular so my tolerance is pretty low for booze. But I do love me a good mojito. I love how easy and refreshing a mojito is. And with peaches being in season, I’ve been in love with this new recipe.

I grabbed a bunch of local peaches at my farmers market the other day and I’ve been putting them to work. I love how sweet they are by themselves and then when combined with strawberries, they’re even better!

Ingredients

• 2 cups peaches
• 2 cups strawberries
• ½ cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves
• ½ superfine sugar
• 4 cups club soda
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 cups white rum
