A Nod To The Mojito

I wanted to share the recipe I use for this delicious drink that I love in the summer.  It is light and refreshing, the mojito!

Things you need...

A tall glass

A muddler

Ice

Club soda

10-15 mint leaves (depending on size)

1/2 a lime - sliced into 4-6 wedges

Light Rum

Simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar dissolved over low heat)

I take the glass, squeeze in the limes and drop them in.  I add the mint leaves whole and muddle.  I then add in the light rum and simple syrup and gently stir.  At this point, I fill my glass with ice and top off with club soda.  I give another gentle stir and garnish with a sprig of mint.

Enjoy!

Until Next Time,
