After all the teasing commercials, I finally got to eat at a Sonic when I was in Myrtle Beach last week. I had the Banana Split that I'd seen taunting me on commericals all last year. It was yummy! I wish I had one near me. I think the closest one is 400 miles away Sad
 
My new favorite alcoholic drink is the Mojito. Anyone tried one of these yet? Pure yumminess.

I've seen the commercials, which are kinda cool, and it looks delicious.  What exactly goes into it, Shannon?  I'm looking for a new refreshing summer drink I can share with my buddies poolside.  Grin

Then this is definitely the drink for you. It's either Vodka or light Rum with soda, fresh mint, sugar cane and fresh lime. If it's made right you don't taste the alcohol at all and it's purely yummy. I had a really good one at a restaurant called Bahama Breeze. Give it a try! I found this recipe from www.tasteofcuba.com.....
 
Cuban Mojito recipe
 
the original authentic recipe from Havana Cuba
 
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Juice from 1 lime (2 ounces)
4 mint leaves
1 sprig of mint  
Havana Club white Rum (2 ounces)
2 ounces club soda
 
There are countless recipes for the Mojito (prounced moh-HEE-toh), but this version is for the one Hemingway himself enjoyed at the Mojito's place of birth: La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, Cuba.  If you are throwing a Cuban theme party (Havana night themed party), plan on serving mojitos.  
 
Place the mint leaves into a long mojito glass (often called a "collins" glass) and squeeze the juice from a cut lime over it.  You'll want about two ounces of lime juice, so it may not require all of the juice from a single lime.  Add the powdered sugar, then gently smash the mint into the lime juice and sugar with a muddler (a long wooden device pictured below, though you can also use the back of a fork or spoon if one isn't available).  Add ice (preferably crushed) then add the rum and stir, and top off with the club soda.  Garnish with a mint sprig.  
 
** Optional ** While the following isn't the authentic original Bodeguita del Medio Cuban recipe for a mojito, some people will take half of the juiced lime and cut into into four wedges to add to the glass.  Another variation is to add Angostura bitters to cut the mojito's sweetness, which is a popular version in Havana hotels although not the true Bodeguita recipe.  Some Cubans also use "guarapo" in place of the powdered sugar, which is a sugar cane syrup available in some supermarkets or online Latin grocery stores.

I have no idea actually! Wink I've never watched her make it, although I've been planing to quite a few times. But I guess you cook the berries, and then add some sugar... Put it in a bottle, and then when you want some you just mix it with water. ^^ No seriously, I don't know. Haha. I'll have to ask her. What I DO know is that the lemonade is quite low on sugar though, which is nice, it feels fresh.

Please ask her for the recipe. It sounds delicous and I'm always looking for low sugar drinks other than water.

Mmmm!  Sounds yummy!  I really prefer drinks in which you can't taste too much alcohol.  I'm a total lightweight when it comes to drinking.  Undecided
