MOJITO!
Such a cool refreshing drink. The Cubano julep. The reason everyone should grow mint, even if it's just in a pot.
For each drink:
Muddle 10-15 fresh mint leaves with about 1/2 tsp granulated sugar (and a microscopic pinch of salt). I use my mortar and pestle.
Fill a glass with crushed ice, the crushed mint, a shot of good rum, juice of 1/2 a lime, 1 tbsp simple syrup if you're Jennifer, 2 tbsp simple syrup if you're Anthony, then top off with sparkling water.
Sip and chill out.

Love this drink, as you know, it was the first thing that touched my lips after Al's lips on our wedding day! ;}
The mojito is probably my number one favorite drink....but this picture looks like possibly the most neglected fish tank in existence. haha I like to crush my mint a little less than this because I hate to slurp up the little seaweedy bits or have them clinging to my lips and teeth.
LOVE your food blog. Your homegrown goodies sound/look healthy and delicious!
yum! definitely a recipe I need to file away somewhere - maybe something i could try on my 21st!
You inspired me to make my first ever mojito tonight -- and wow am I grateful to you!! Sipped one with supper, and think I might have to mix another for tonight!
