Summer Drink: Mojito

During Cory's birthday we sat outside and enjoyed the summer (ahem, I mean spring) sun. While walking around the yard we found mint; what a pleasant surprise! During our dating years Cory made me a lot of mojitos (we fell in love during summer, what can I say). We quickly decided that we would make some mojitos. 


Here is the quick and dirty of a simple mojito (serves 1):

Ingredients

1 Lime
2 Shots Bacardi Rum 
4 Shots Club Soda
10 Mint Leaves
2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar

Step One: Gather Ingredients 


It is helpful to have a muddler.

Step Two: Cut Lime in half. Squeeze juice from whole lime into mason jar (or any other fancy glass)
Add Mint Leaves and muddle for about one minute.


Step 4: Add 2 T Powdered sugar and continue to muddle for several seconds
Step 5: Add 2 Shots Rum and 4 Shots Club Soda*

*I personally like it more sweet so I added one extra shot of Club Soda and 3 tsp Raspberry Torani Syrup

Step 6: Stir with fancy straw; add a few ice cubes and enjoy!
