Mojitos For Everyone!

Hi again!  Aren't you so glad Mimi left me in charge?!  To ease the pain of her being gone and leaving me to entertain y'all...I'm going to share a simple mojito recipe.  An adult beverage if you will.  [Haha...she'll be back soon!  Don't worry!]    

I love mojitos.  Something about the smooth minty flavor that relaxes me.  Or maybe thats the rum?  Either way its delicious and its definitely one of my favorite rum drinks.  [I have maybe 3 or 4 favorites.. I'm honestly not a big drinker.]

Mint

Lime

Sugar

Sparkling Water

White Rum

I'm going to apologize for these pictures in advance.  I was snapping away telling my husband and his friend Kyle how to pose and they just laughed at me.  Kyle said 'Is this your first drink?  You seem to be documenting it pretty well.'  Ahh well.  They will never understand the life of a big time blogger.  ;)

Fill the glass with ice and squeeze your lemon into it.  Take your mint and roll it between your hands to bring out the flavor before putting it in the glass.  Then pour your rum and sparkling water over the ice, mint and lime.  Stir in some sugar.

The only thing left to do is enjoy your drink.  [And take awkward pictures of it on top of your sugar jar.]  If you're not an alcohol fan, this drink is delicious without the rum.  I made one the next morning [without rum] and it was fantastic.

Dont you feel better already?  No?  MIMI!  Come back!  I'm losing their interest.. we need another monkey to entertain these people!
