Mojitos with Grilled Strawberries and Mint

Did you know the mojito is one of the world's most popular cocktails? It's a delicious combination of white rum, mint, lime, sugar, and club soda. All you need to make one is a tall glass, a tall stirring spoon, and a muddler. It is also easy to incorporate other flavors like I did with these grilled strawberries.

The drink is said to have been first served in Cuba. It's a classic summertime drink with its cool mint and citrusy lime. The soda is a refreshing topper and the whole drink doesn't taste of alcohol, which is a bonus for me!
