I'm also kind of a lightweight when it comes to alcohol, but I looove the contrasting flavors of margaritas and mojitos--I don't tend to mix my own drinks, but I think I'm going to have to pick up some of the last of the local rhubarb and some more mint and try this out. (I actually have a snow cone maker, too--I wonder how rhubarb mojito snow cones would taste?)

I was shocked I hadn't seen anyone else do this. So I was pleased when I saw your post on foodgawker to know I was not the only one to enjoy the treat. It's so extremely refreshing and tasty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326112551659962413.post-50983213699713920142011-06-17T07:12:50.992-07:002011-06-17T07:12:50.992-07:00This sounds delicious!

However, mint presents a problem because although the mint oils release with a very light touch, over muddling introduces bitter flavors that affect the mojito (not in a good way). If you want tiny mint pieces, you could lay the leaves on top of one another and roll them on your cutting board, then slice them thin, and again crosswise. With all of that handling, you wouldnt need to muddle at all. Just toss them in and add ice and the rest.<br /><br />Can't wait to try this!Randyhttp://summitsips.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326112551659962413.post-75609663570551899402011-06-16T16:01:51.877-07:002011-06-16T16:01:51.877-07:00You combined 2 of my fav things about summer -- so...You combined 2 of my fav things about summer -- so delicious!Xiaolu @ 6 Bittersweetshttp://www.6bittersweets.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326112551659962413.post-57817001519815150832011-06-16T10:24:51.364-07:002011-06-16T10:24:51.364-07:00Sweet and Crumbly- Thanks for your kind words.

I think you can get the straws in a lot of places now, but I bought mine here: http://shopsweetlulu.bigcartel.com/<br /><br />Alaska Hippo- Hope you like it. So much Rhubarb this time of year in Alaska. Love it.<br /><br />Jen H- It will most likely last more than a month in the refrigerator. That is the longest I have ever kept any sort of simple syrup in the fridge without using it all up. It should last much longer than that though.<br /><br />Sylvia- I'm so glad you stopped by and liked it.
