Here is what you’ll like if you go to The Rose Club at the Plaza: The strawberry champagne mojito. You may not run into Eloise there, but you might encounter Justin Timberlake, P. Diddy, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johanssen and Denzel Washington. Though if you’re not a city child, don’t worry – we’ve got the recipe:

Strawberry Champagne Mojito

3 to 4 Strawberries and Half Pint of Loose Fresh Mint Leaves Muddled

3/4 oz of Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice

1 oz of Simple Syrup

2 oz Bacardi Rum

Shake and Strain into a Highball Glass

Finally – Top off with Champagne.

**Garnish – Half Strawberry pierced with Mint Sprig
