Mojito

History:

• There are countless (and very similar) recipes for the Mojito, but this version is for the one Hemingway himself enjoyed at the Mojito's place of birth, La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, Cuba.

Instructions:

• To mix a Mojito cocktail, muddle mint leaves with sugar and lime juice. Add ice and rum, then stir. Top it off with soda water. There are a couple ways to garnish a Mojito. Add the half lime (or lemon, from the juice) with the ice before stiring, and/or sprig of mint leaves. Serve with straw. *the use of limes is more traditional.

Ingredients:

• 3 cl (0.89 oz) Lime Juice
• 4 cl (1.18 oz) Rum, white/light
• 2 teaspoon (0.74 cl/0.25 oz) Sugar
• 1 splash (0.37 cl/0.13 oz) Soda Water

Accessories:

• Muddler
