Cucumber Mojito

Cucumber Mojito | Club Crafted

Cucumber Mojito | Club CraftedMy go-to cocktail is a mojito. In fact, one of the only plants I’ve successfully kept alive for the past year has been a mint plant for the sole purpose of making mojitos. #priorities

Anyway, with summer in full swing here, I decided to change it up a bit with a refreshing, minty cucumber mojito. I’d probably love just about anything in a mojito, but the cucumber makes it incredibly refreshing for summer. Mixed with the classic mojito flavors of lime, mint and rum, it’s a perfect combo. 

Cucumber Mojito | Club Crafted Cucumber Mojito | Club CraftedPersonally, I like to use La Croix or Dasani Sparkling in a lot of my cocktails, but you can use any sparkling water, lemon lime soda or club soda. The combo of lime sparkling water and real juices worked really well for the mojito, and I love knowing that I’ve cut out the sugar of soda (since I make up for it with simple syrup).

Think about how refreshing cucumber water is, and then add rum, lime and mint. Doesn’t that sounds EVEN BETTER?

Cucumber Mojito | Club Crafted Cucumber Mojito | Club Crafted Cucumber Mojito | Club CraftedMaybe it’s the mojito-lover in me talking, but I could drink this cocktail forever and be totally OK that that. Here’s to hoping I can continue to keep my mint plant alive since it’s barely hanging on, especially now that it’s heating up and the balcony gets a lot of sun. 

I expect this will be a summer full of mojitos in my house! I would drink this even as a mocktail, but we have quite the alcohol collection after we stocked up for our new bar cart, so I might as well add a little rum. 

Enjoy this cucumber mojito for a refreshing summer cocktail!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
