Mojito


The Mojito has become the new "in" drink the past few years. There is a good reason for this: It is delicious. If you haven't tried one get ready for Havana Heaven.

  • 2 ounces White Rum
  • Handfull of Ice
  • Club Soda
  • Lime Wedges for garnish
Directions
  1. In the bottom of a shaker, combine the lime juice, sugar and mint leaves.
  2. Crush them together with a bar spoon or muddler until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add the rum and ice and shake vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds.
