I was so excited to have OXO as a sponsor. They sent us some of their great tools and I chose this muddler. I make so many drinks to brink them to you each Friday and I didn’t have one. I’ve been using a spoon if I had a drink that needed a muddle. This muddler is soooooo much better and it’s so pretty too! I love OXO kitchen tools and have been using them for years.
These Moscato Strawberry and Lemon Mojitos are so good. When I make my Spiked Strawberry Lemonade I use a touch of mint and it really brightens it up, so I thought why not do a big mash up and make a strawberry and lemon Mojito. Then I was informed that today is National Moscato Day and I had to include some in this drink. I had been wanted to make a Moscato Mojito and this was the perfect chance! I took the pictures with a strained drink. I don’t like drinking mojitos when it seems like you’re eating them. You know what I mean? Sometimes there is so much mint in the glass it’s hard to drink. I think next time I’ll do a happy medium with just a bit of the muddled mixture in my glass.
California Walnuts, Bob’s Red Mill, Oxo, Dixie Crystals, Whole Foods Market Doctor Phillips, Grimmway Farms, Woot Froot, Vidalia Onion, Baloian Farms, Stemilt and Bonne Maman are providing the prizes free of charge.
