Cook the Book: 'Margaritas, Mojitos & More'
Summertime is cocktail time. When the weather heats up, who wants to be weighed down by dark, heavy beers or glasses of lukewarm wine? Icy, blended drinks made from high-quality spirits and exotic fruits such as lychees, Asian pears, and kumquats are much more appealing.
This week's Cook the Book selection, Margaritas, Mojitos, & More by Jessica Strand, is full of tempting recipes for classic summer cocktails with a twist. Author Jessica Strand shows you how to make any drink your "signature" by mixing and matching flavored vodkas, spices, and garnishes like fresh rosemary and sliced black plums. In addition to the lethal libations, there is a chapter dedicated to Calming Coolers—nonalcoholic drinks such as Blended Peach Creams and Pomegranate Tingles—that are perfect poolside refreshers for children of all ages.
Just in time for your 4th of July celebration, we'll be excerpting a tantalizing cocktail recipe from Margaritas, Mojitos, & More every day this week. Forget about boring brews and white wine spritzers—it's time to bust out your blender and shaker and get the party started.
Win 'Margaritas, Mojitos, & More'
For a chance to win one of five copies of Margaritas, Mojitos, & More tell us in the comments section below: what is your favorite cocktail garnish? (Mine is olives, and lots of them!)

My local bar has a special condiment for the bloody marys that we affectionaly call "cock & balls" - a pickled okra between two green olives that looks like, well, y'know. :-)

cucumber on a martini is nice.
lovelybunny at 5:32PM on 06/30/08
Since I'm a Pimm's Cup fan I gotta go with a cucumber stick. I'll even cast a vote for a stalk from a celery heart.
czken at 5:33PM on 06/30/08
probably limes..if they go with the drink..or mint..or a couple of raspberries in a glass of champagne..or celery in a bloody mary. i guess what i'm trying to say is that it REALLY depends on the drink.
sloppy at 5:34PM on 06/30/08
My local in London used to do a lovely twist of orange, but singed with a flame until it was a bit caramelised. That was nice.

I have a weakness for limes. They are little bits of tangy deliciousness. I don't even need an alcoholic drink to put them in.

Pickled Onions in a Bloody Mary can't be beat.
CarolHarrity at 11:39PM on 06/30/08
I've never had a mojito but love Margaritas
I'd have to say the only garnish I like in a blended Margarita is the salt on the rim of the glass.
Some tortilla chips and salsa on the side and it's a good day.

I would definitely say it depends on the drink....but a mint leaf or straberries are always nice, but only if they are in season!

My fave is maraschino cherries, which goes way back to when I first started dating. (Didn't have all these fancy drinks then, so a cherry was way cool.) A close second is lime.

Green olives stuffed with gorgonzola (martini). Pickled white asparagus, spiced shrimp, or beef jerky stick (bloody mary). Crystallized ginger slice (ginger beer cocktails). Pear slices (pear martinis). Almost anything on one of those cute cocktail picks that look like swords.

If it counts as a garnish, I love those silly little umbrellas! If not, I'd have to pick pineapple slices and cherries as my faves.

Limes is my #1 garnish. I don't care for olives, but I do like a green one stuffed with blue cheese floating in a martini.
bipolarbear at 4:11PM on 07/03/08
I'd rather drink a mojito, but my favorite garnish is spicy green beans in my bloody mary.
nolasusanw at 4:22PM on 07/03/08
While I love mint, my new favorite garnish is cucumbers! I had a wonderful drink at the "Blue Smoke" in New York City called the "porch swing" (I believe that's the name) that had cucumbers in it and it just made it SO refreshing! Perfect summer drink!
sweetdiesel at 4:34PM on 07/03/08

For a savory drink such as a martini, blue cheese stuffed olives. For something refreshing, or sweetish, lime.
scarletini at 3:35PM on 07/04/08
Mint and limes, but occasionally stalks of lemongrass. (I make some cocktails with lemongrass syrup.)

A little clump of grapes dangling off the side of a glass of ice cold sangria.
White or red depending on the type of sangria.
raspberries, oranges slice...
Time for a cocktail!
audreybart at 7:11PM on 07/04/08
the fruit faces and critters they make and serve with your drinks at Jimmy Buffett's Cheeseburger in Paradise Restaurants. Especially the little fake plastic sunglasses they clip to each one!!

fresh pineapple wedges, rock candy swizzle sticks, apple slices, edible gold flecks....it all depends on the drink!

Depends on the drink. I love a very dirty martini with lots of olives, but I also love fruity garnishes on froo-froo drinks.

I like fruity drinks,so chunks of fruit are my favorite garnish

fresh fruit like strawberries or pineapple.

I love maraschino cherries. The prettiest garnish I've seen was an apple slice with a cherry in the middle of it. Worked with an appletini.

Green olives
Traumajunky at 8:41PM on 07/05/08
tipsy olives of course

Ok, it's a toss up between olives, and a graham cracker crust.

Definitely limes! They rock!
spitfyr323 at 8:04AM on 07/06/08
I love all kinds of olives.
arvard at 8:08AM on 07/06/08
Absolutely nothing beats an olive stuffed with blue cheese to make a martini more than just another drink. I love blue cheese anyway, so putting a couple of olives stuffed with this is a little bit of heaven on earth.
akiss at 9:01AM on 07/06/08
definitely a lime slice
charuzella at 9:07AM on 07/06/08
I'm all about the limes!
alden at 10:38AM on 07/06/08
Starfruit slice.
jacquimp at 10:51AM on 07/06/08
starfruit would be my choice as well. great appeal through texture and shape and a mild taste to boot.
jnmacdonald at 11:27AM on 07/06/08
I must admit that I love a good old fashioned cherry
