Virgin Tofu Strawberry Mint Mojito
Virgin Tofu Strawberry Mint Mojito
YIELD: 5 cups of strawberry-mint purée for mixing with club soda
INGREDIENTS
SIMPLE SYRUP
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
DRINK
16 oz Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Soft or Organic (refrigerate remaining tofu)
1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup lime juice
1 liter club soda
Ice cubes
GARNISH (OPTIONAL)
Water for rimming glasses
Granulated sugar
Fresh mint leaves
Fresh fruit pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
To make the simple syrup, heat water in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, but do not boil. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Turn off heat and let cool completely before using.
In a blender, add the first four drink ingredients plus half of the cooled simple syrup, then process until smooth and no lumps remain. Add more simple syrup to taste.
Prepare the glasses by dipping the rims in about 1/4" of water, then dipping into sugar. Add ice cubes to each glass.
Pour the strawberry-mint purée over the ice cubes until each glass is about 2/3 full. Fill the rest of the glass with club soda, then stir.
Garnish with fresh mint and fruit pieces, then serve immediately.
TIPS
Simple syrup can be made ahead of time and stored in a glass jar until ready to use.
Frozen strawberries can be used instead of fresh. Make sure to use a high-powered blender if not thawing the strawberries first.
The ratio of strawberry-mint purée to club soda can be adjusted to taste.
