Instructions
Prepare Strawberry-Rhubarb Puree:

- Add the strawberries and rhubarb and simmer for 15 minutes or until the fruit is broken down and very soft, and when the mixture is ‘syrupy’.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Strain the cooled mixture through a mesh strainer.
- Pour strained mixture into a blender and mix until smooth.
- Place puree in the fridge to chill.
Prepare the Mojitos:
- In either separate tall cocktail glasses OR in a small pitcher, pour in both rums.
- Add the mint leaves to each glass or the pitcher.
- Using the back of a spoon, “muddle” the mint into the rums to release the flavors of mint.
- Add the strawberry rhubarb puree.
- Add the lime juice equally between the glasses or into the pitcher.
- Add the club soda to taste.
- Fill each glass with ice.
- Stir gently.
- Garnish with lime slices, strawberries and/or rhubarb sticks.
