This refreshing cocktail has been quite the popular drink over the last few years. It’s not one of my favorites but I know a lot of people who love them. They can be many flavors now also but this recipe is for a basic mojito. The recipe is for one drink so adjust if you want to make several. You’ll need a muddler or some other kind of tool to muddle or crush the mint and sugar. This should be done in a tall glass also.

INGREDIENTS:

2 ounces light rum

1 ounce fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons sugar

5-7 mint leaves

club soda

DIRECTIONS:

In a large glass place the mint and sugar and muddle until you smell the mint. Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir and fill glass with some ice, top off with club soda.
