Just made a list of some of my favorite drinks.

Mojito

Ingredients

• Fresh mint
• Limes (one for each drink)
• Clear rum (Havana Club is preferred, but if not you can get Bacardi Superior Light, or Captain Morgan’s Silver Edition)
• Club Soda
• Pure granulated sugar
• Bitters

How To

1. Start by making some simple syrup. To do this, put equal parts sugar and water into a pot and cook it on high (stirring the whole time) until it mixes together (you do not want it boiling!). **Make enough of this so you don’t have to make it every time you need to make a mojito.
2. Place some of the fresh mint in the bottom of the glass, just enough to cover and a little bit more.
3. Pour in about a finger of the simple syrup.
4. Add a little granulated sugar into the glass to aid the muddling of the mint. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before serving.
5. Squeeze the juice of a whole lime into the glass, leaving half of the empty lime shell in the glass.
6. Take your bottle of bitters and just put a dash or two in. Mix that all together thoroughly.
7. Fill the glass about 3/4 full with ice.
8. Pour about 4 counts of the rum, and finish it with a splash of club soda. Make sure that you then mix the drink very well.
9. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
