I have never been much of a party thrower. As I've written before, I'm more of a good food/good company person, few frills. This time, however, was special. My good friend Jamie recently adopted a baby. Yay! Another friend, Sarah, and I got together to throw her a shower. We may have gotten a little carried away.

A couple of weeks ago, I went to girls night out with some of my mom friends. Most had ordered a cocktail and I wanted to order a fun drink too. So, I ordered a mojito, without the rum. It was fresh and light and I wanted to recreate it for this party and to make it a slushy. Heber calls them Mo-Mojitos, you know Mormon Mojitos.
Here's the recipe I came up with. Strawberry Mint Mo-Mojitos
2 1/4 cups ice
3 fresh mint leaves
3 fresh strawberries (I'm sure you could substitute frozen)
2/3 cup Diet 7 Up
3 tbs. Limeade Juice Concentrate (straight from the can from the freezer section)
2 tsp. Sugar
Put all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until it's a smoothy texture. Add more mint or sugar to taste.
Here's some of the decor from our pinwheel themed shower.

It was such a nice evening. And the Mo Mojitos were a hit.
