Strawberry Hibiscus Mojito

Summer's Last Stand: Part II

Another delicious Mojito for another scorching September day.  I've loved strawberries forever, and especially loved picking and eating them fresh from our strawberry patch when we lived in Oklahoma, and I've really enjoyed mixing with hibiscus (and floral flavors in general) this summer.  Add a Mojito to that combination and you have even more of my favorite summer things rolled up in a delicious package.
