Apparently, people are saying that Mojitos are no longer ‘cool’. Well, I’m happy to say I never put much weight in being cool.
A Mojito is one of those beverages that you could drink all day long, not feeling the effects of them, until late in the day, when it’s too late. They’re tasty and refreshing. And easy to make – and even easier to drink.
Using a muddler, or the end of a wooden spoon, gently muddle about half of a lime (cut into chunks) with a bunch of mint leaves. Add some sugar (to taste), some rum (to taste) and you’re almost set. Some people like to strain the liquid into a drinking glass – I don’t mind the little bits of lime and mint in my drink, so I don’t strain. Add lots of ice, and top with club soda or sparkling water (to taste).
Sit back and enjoy with something to nibble on – preferably on a deck or dock – but still enjoyable if consumed indoors. Just watch out – they may sneak up on you.
