Asian Pear Mojito
"This cocktail is made with pear nectar which I feel lends a more natural tasting cocktail then those made with apple pucker or pear liqueur. I muddle fresh mint from my backyard herbs."

This was a really tasty cocktail to sip on. I think the key is taking it easy with Step #7, which states to top it off with Club Soda...do so sparingly, as it can easily get watered down with too much extra Club Soda. I used asian pear slices with lime wedges for the garnish. Thanks for sharing your cocktail recipes, carmenskitchen. Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.

Although hardly your traditional southern girl, I come from a huge southern family and have been cooking since I was eight years old. Cooking is more then a hobby, I genuinely get so much pleasure from cooking and providing the people I love with great food. I have to attest, that it truly IS the way to a man's heart! In my opinion, there is nothing more admirable to hold then the truest essence of a homemaker, or as the term is coined today "household engineer"! I am a licensed real estate agent working full-time from home and a soccer mom to my 9 year old son. I am a busy bee but somehow find time to indulge in some of my many passions: dancing, photography, sewing and interior design. Finding that perfect balance is what I strive to do everyday and so far so good.
