mojitos

Summer means mojitos. Well, it does for me. And oh, look, I have a special jug just the right size for making mojitos.

Do you want to know how to make mojitos? Of course you do!

Add a large-ish handful of mint leaves to your mojito jug.

Add equal amounts of powdered sugar and lime juice (2-3 tbsps, depending on whether you remembered to buy powdered sugar or not).

muddle.

add 8 oz white rum (you can use dark rum, but it will look rather alarmingly like swamp water)

muddle.

add a few ice cubes.

muddle

pour your mojitos through a strainer into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice. Top with club soda. Or not, depending on how your day is going.

Makes 2 to 8. Depending on how your day is going.
