SPRING LOVES A MOJITO!
in
The Mojito is all about The Art Of Muddling. Muddling is the act of
releasing the fragrant oil from the mint leaves by applying pressure.
As you smash the leaves with the lime juice and sugar you will
see a syrup begin to form - this is the art of a great mojito. Once
you've achieved mint syrup, add mountains of ice, rum and
finish off with club soda.

1/4 cup lime juice 2 teaspoons Super Fine Sugar 12 fresh mint leaves 3 ounces White or Light Rum Club Soda Lots of Ice Slices of Lime, for garnish |

Combine the lime juice, mint and sugar in a Collins or highball glass.
Muddle the mixture together to bruise the mint and form a syrup. Add
the rum and stir to combine.
Fill two serving glasses with ice. Divide the Rum mixture between two glasses and top off the glasses with Club Soda to taste. Stir well, garnish with lime slices and Enjoy!
