Mojitos

I haven't been forgetting to blog. I just actually haven't cooked anything in days, thanks to a plethora of leftovers I had built up and D's family taking us out for a couple dinners. And I still haven't cooked anything. I just made a drink. A pretty darn good drink though.

Having a half Cuban boyfriend, I pride myself on the fact that I was able to make a "prefect" mojito for him. I don't even like white rums, but I like this drink. Have I said before how I sound like a picky eater/drinker in this blog? I swear, I'm not. I'll eat anything, I just prefer some things over others. Anyways, I was tired of searching through the internet for a good mojito recipe. I used to work at a bar, and I knew I liked the mojitos there, so I tried my best to recreate that. I think it worked.


Mojitos

1/2 lime, sliced into wedges
2-3 sprigs mint
1 oz simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar, heat until dissolved)
2 oz white rum
splash club soda

Muddle the lime and mint leaves together in a shaker until the limes are all juiced. (You will be able to tell because juice will start splashing up. DO NOT get it in your eye. Trust me, it hurts. I had to make an extra drink just to make me feel better.) Add the simple syrup, white rum, and ice. Shake. Pour into glass, top with club soda.

Splash is pretty vague, I would guess it to be around 1/2 cup. But I'm not known for my judging abilities.

Drink Up!
