MOJITO


(this came to me from Michelle B.)

INGREDIENTS:
4 mint leaves (I cheat and use about 8)
1 lime (for juicing)
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
2 ounces white rum (Bacardi is the favorite – and sometimes less, maybe 1.5 oz)
2 ounces club soda1 sprig of mint (for garnishing)
Crushed ice

PREPARATION:
1. Put the mint leaves into a Collins glass and squeeze the lime juice over them.
2. Add the powdered sugar and then muddle the mint,lime juice and sugar together. Add crushed ice.
3. Stir in the rum and top off with the club soda.

4. Garnish with a mint sprig.
