Oof, it is hot, hot, hot here in Philadelphia today. These hot and humid conditions so early in the season make me a little nervous for what the summer has yet to bring! I've got to admit we were quite spoiled by the lack of humidity and much-more-mild summer temps in Laramie. On the bright side, I think the heat is an excellent reason to drink an ice-cold mojito in the early afternoon. Thank goodness today's a holiday!
Lemon-Lime Mojito (printer-friendly version)
makes two drinks
8 fresh mint leaves
3 oz lemon-lime juice (juice from one lemon and one lime)
2 teaspoons raw sugar
3 oz rum
club soda
1. Add four mint leaves to the bottom of each glass.
2. Pour 1 1/2 oz lemon-lime juice into each glass.
3. Add 1 teaspoon of raw sugar to each glass (or add in a teaspoon of mint simple syrup).
4. Muddle the mint (use the proper tool, a muddler, or improvise like I did and use the stick end of a wooden spoon).
5. Pour in the rum.
6. Top with club soda (about 5-7 oz, depending on your glass size).
7. Drink!
