I normally stick to fashion on this blog, but when I heard about a new book by Kim Haasarud, 101 Mojitos & Other Muddled Drinks - I just had to share. The mojito - a refreshing mix of rum, mint and lime, is one of my all-time favorite drinks, and it's perfect for summer. In 101 Mojitos, Kim shows you how to perfect this quick and easy yet oh-so-impressive drink, plus fun new ways to vary the recipe using fresh fruit, veggies and herbs, including a Black & Blue Mojito, Cucumber Cilantro Mojito, Cucumber Tomato Mojito, and Strawberry Basil Smash (get the recipe below!)
Is your mouth watering yet? Then keep reading to find out how you can enter to win a copy of the book, signed by the author!

Good luck!!
Strawberry Basil Smash
In a mixing glass, muddle the strawberries with the basil, lemon juice and simple syrup. Add the SKYY vodka. Top with crushed ice. Top with a splash of soda water and stir. Garnish with strawberry.
