I think I'm in trouble. I have long been a mojito fan and just stumbled across this delicious bastardization while searching for a boozy slush recipe for the up coming Fourth of July weekend. I found this tasty marriage of the two, made a couple modification and voila...
Mojito Slushy*
2 limes, zested
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (coincidentally about two limes)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, firmly packed
3/4 to 1 cup light rum
6 cups ice
Mint sprigs and lime wedges, for garnish
Heat the honey in the microwave just for few seconds to liquefy and pour into the blender. Add lime zest, lime juice, mint leaves, and rum into a blender and blend until smooth. Add ice to fill blender and blend until slushy. Spoon into glasses; garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime slice.
*Adapted from Tyler Florence's recipe on foodnetwork.com where he calls for making a simple syrup and using 1 cup of it over my honey substitute... I'm all like, hey Tyler I wore dirty clothes to work last week... I need to get my drink on and don't have time to eff around with a simple syrup.

And now I'm being tortured with the thought of this while I'm at work for the next 8 hours... this looks delicious, and simple enough for kitchen-challenged me.
I was supposed to partake of this lovely concoction on the day of it's initial creation, but alas, my hubby was ill and we had to cancel. Drink slushy....Care for hubby....drink slushy.......care for hubby. Hmm.
I dare say....did you change your blog skin to match the mojito slushy? Or was it perhaps a seasonal choice?
