Merry Christmas!

Happy holidays to all. I'm really glad I could have this day off to spend with those I love. Today I've baked a pumpkin pie, protein chocolate muffins, and finally made a Christmas cocktail to sit down and relax before dinner (roast beast and mashies). The drink is a Christmas Cranberry Coconut Mojito, and is very refreshing with a hint of Floridian holiday! All you'll need for one drink is 

- an ounce of Bacardi

- 1/4 ounce of Malibu rum

- handful of fresh or dried cranberries

- 1/2 of a lime

- fresh mint leaves (mine were picked fresh from my step moms garden!)

- agave nectar

- soda water

- ice

Put mint, lime, cranberries, both rums and agave in the bottom of a tall glass. Muddle together, twisting the muddler at the bottom to release oils from the mint. When you have sufficiently released all of the oils and juices, put ice in the cup, top with soda water and stir (or shake) gently. If you're shaking watch out for exploding shakers! Another good idea for the other half lime and remaining mint is to muddle it up alone in soda water and agave and pour the remaining into an ice cub tray. Then, whenever you're craving an easy Mojito, throw the ice cubes in a glass and top with rum and more soda water. As it melts it will become another delicious Mojito!
