Slurp

Saturday. Our house. BYOB & we'll supply these!

Mojito Popsicles

2 oz. Light Rum

3 oz. Fresh Lime Juice

3 oz. Simple Syrup* (recipe below)

2½ cups lemon-lime soda

12 Fresh mint leaves (spearmint is best!)

3 cups Ice Cubes

Combine all ingredients into blender with ice. Puree all ingredients until mixture is smooth and slushy. Pour slushy mixture into Popsicle molds. Add Popsicle sticks and freeze for 8 hours.

Simple Syrup*

½ cup Sugar of choice

½ cup Water

Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Add sugar and whisk mixture until all sugar has dissolved. Mixture should be clear in color. Bring to room temperature.

*You could also probably use Agave syrup in place of the simple syrup. It's 'healthier' because the sugar is natural and not refined.
