Mojito is a traditional Cuban cocktail drink which became quite popular in the United States during the late 1890s.
The word "mojo" means -mixture- and that is exactly what this cocktail is. Today the Mojito cocktail occupies a special place in Cuba. It's considered the National drink of Cuba.
6 fresh Strawberries
2 Mint sprigs
3 wedges Lime
1 oz. Creme de Fraise des Bois (Cartron)
2 oz. Rum
1 splash Soda water
How To Make It:
Muddle strawberries, mint, lime and Creme de Fraise des Boise hard in a shaker tin. Add rum and fill shaker with ice. Shake well. Double strain (through sieve) into Collins Glass filled with cracked ice. Top with a splash of soda water.
ok....just ran out for supplies. I got some rum, strawberries, ice,chips and dip....artichoke dip, mint leaves, many drink mixes....what everyone needs for the party in the cesspool.
I read that somebody is getting the grill up and running??? Kewl, I brought some marinaded chicken, and some beef and veggies for kabobs! ![]()

Okay, here I am, up in the middle of the night because I can't sleep. The supplies sound great except that I'll go back to margaritas or have a hurricane as I don't care for mint nor do I like Madori. Guess I shouldn't be so picky while I'm floating in this cesspool.
Have the grill going and thought a nice big salad and sliced home-grown tomatoes and some fresh corn on the cob would be great also.
Redpanda, beings you were smart enough to remember the cake, we're going to let you bring it...........

Peaches, pineapple, nectarines, strawberries, glazed and ready to grill with a cream cheese-Fluff dip - YUM!!!
Can't wait to see the cake Redpanda!

Just think of all the good vitamins in that fruit though. Can I please have some of the raspberries for my margarita?

On a side note: I just came from the Kenny Chesney concert and they had some fantastic run drinks that should be enjoyed around the pool....too bad I had no clue what they had in them
What was the name of this drink??? I like Kenny Chesney ... LOL .. But I like Country so.... I would die to see Garth Brooks in Concert...

Perhaps we could get one of these guys to entertain around the pool. From the sounds of the menu and drinks, I think we need Jimmy Buffet.

1 part Cruzan Pineapple Rum
1 part Cruzan Orange Rum
1 part Cruzan Banana Rum
1 part Cruzan Coconut Rum

Shake it
Top off with 1 part Cruzan Estate Dark Rum

Oh I know he has until the last daughter is 21 which she is ONLY 11 right now... But as long as he keeps putting out Music I will be happy.. But I understand too I got all of his CDs and will get the new one when it comes out in a few months... He has never come to Bakersfield the closest he has come is Fresno which is about 1 hr from me and the tickets were gone in 15 mins... Sold OUT.. I did not have a chance.. LOL .. Some day I hope...

I have never heard of these rums sounds good.. I like fruity drinks.. There is a slurpie (Icy blended) kinda drink at the "Outback Steak House" that is a peach and OMG that thing is so Yummy.... And I am not a peach drinker but this is to die for...
This Voodoo Bucket sounds plum scary!!!!!!! I'd drown in the shallow end of the pool drinking these. ![]()
I can see me listening to my Jimmy Buffet CDs today. Have all of Garth's too but he is not my favorite. My favorite is George Jones. LadyCake, living in Bakersfield, you should love Merle and Buck.
I was born in Modesto and raised around Sacramento. My dad managed western bands there back in the old days when Bob Wills and his brother Billy Jack were around. My dad called square dances for Bob.

Please pass these raspberries over to Diane someone? I'm blowing up my raft for the pool.

That sounds sooooo good! And thanks for the link - a very interesting site! Makes me crave the waves and the sand and the palm trees...
But I'll be happy to settle for the "cesspool!" At least I know there's lots of good "evil" folks to keep me company here...
Pass the fruit kabobs, please! And hand me a bucket of Voodoo Bucket! (And a bottle of Tylenol, for later...)
I can bring some chips and salsa, maybe some guacamole dip
Aha! You've finally hit it--guacamole, my favorite snack! I surely do miss those good avocados in CA!
Diane

Oh I like Buck and Merle too they are not my Favs but I like them...
I would have to say my All time Fav would be George Strait - Then Reba - Garth ect... LOL

Just read this about Garth's new CD...........I love Reba also. She cracks me up sometimes!
Diane
Hey Ladycakes! Did your tagline come from a sign at SC?
"I'd Like To Help You Out -------- Which Way Did You Come In???"![]()
Jimmy Buffett cranking - can someone pass the sunscreen?
Sorry everyone, I promise rum, then vanish! Darn my family for taking me away from the cesspool fun. Got my floaties though, and ready to jump in. Brought some pretzels and cheese, cause it just feels like a pretzel and cheese day! ![]()
That Voodoo Bucket looks like it belongs here in this cesspool of evil, and slightly drunk people.
Got another drink to add to the mix. Called Mojo. DH had it at a bar in the Philippines while in the Navy. He wasn't much of a drinker and his friends told him it was a non-alcoholic punch, and he believed them, and drank large amounts, tried to stand up, then fell right back down and realized it was saturated in liquor. We recently found the recipe online. I admit that we have yet to make it, he still doesn't really drink, and though I'm a bit of a lush, I do have children to take care of. ![]()

1 bottle of beer
5 shots dark rum
5 shots vodka
5 shots gin
5 shots whisky
4 oz pineapple juice
4 oz oj
4 oz sprite
1 shot lime juice
dash of grenadine
1 lemon sliced
--- Makes 1 pitcher
I find it hard to believe he couldn't taste the alcohol, but.... Who wants some?
Oh, and Diane, make sure your fill your margarita with lots of raspberries; I remember reading a few months ago that alcohol actually makes berries HEALTHIER!! Something about upping the antioxidant properties or something. ![]()
Mojo sounds wicked. Have you ever drank a Long Island Iced Tea? You can't taste the liquor in those and they will knock you on your butt. When I owned a bar, I wouldn't serve more than two of them to a person.
Yes, I need extra raspberries. Definitely want my margaritas to be healthy.
Pass the sunscreen................

Ya I know he was not going to tour till the youngest was 21 and she is 11 now... He said that he was going to get some songs out there and a new collection so...
Hey somebody please pass me another glass of that Voodoo stuff so I don't have to get off my floatie. Why doesn't this cesspool have a floating bar???
What were we talking about before? Some sort of Sugar Raft? *hic*
Hey I just hired this guy, he says he's Red Cross certified.....
I NEED CPR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
