A nice mojito recipe to try !

How To Make A Mojito Ingredients:

* One small handful fresh mint (or 6-7 large leaves) from your herb garden or local produce section
* Four slices of fresh lime
* One shot (1.5 oz) rum (Mount Gay Rum or Bacardi Limon are two favorites)
* Two tablespoons sugar (powdered sugar or simple syrup may be used for thorough dissolving, or brown or raw sugar may provide a more authentic taste)
* Ice cubes and club soda to fill glass

How To Make A Mojito INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place mint and lime slices in tall glass. Muddle gently with muddler or wooden spoon. Though muddling is necessary to release the essential oils of the fruit, it is not necessary to tear the mint leaves.
2. Add sugar, ice, rum, and enough soda water to nearly fill the glass.
3. Shake to mix and serve in a cocktail glass.
4. Garnish with an extra lime slice and sprig of mint. Find a sunny lounge chair and enjoy!
