Basic Mojito Ingredients

Description: A Cuban Drink. Please do use fresh mint. After making this you will be growing your own mint for this drink. I'm not a rum drinker till I discovered this Mojitos!

Ingredients:

• 3 sprigs of fresh mint
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice or 3 tablespoons lime juice, fresh

Steps:

1. In a tall thin glass, crush or muddle part of the mint with a fork to coat the inside.
2. Add the sugar and lime juice and stir thoroughly.
3. Top with ice.
4. Add rum and mix.
5. Top off with the club soda (or seltzer).
6. Add a lime or lemon slice and the remaining mint.
7. Serves one.
