It is HOT, Drink a Mojito!

If you happen to be waitressing tonight at an outdoor bar in NYC (like some of my friends:(), or going to sit outside, order a refreshing mojito. (Pronounced Mo-Hito).

If you are at home, make one yourself! Here's how:

Ingredients:

fresh mint leaves
lime wedges
sugar
light rum
club soda
ice

Put a dozen mint leaves in a glass followed by about 4 lime wedges. Put 2 tsp. of sugar over the mint and limes. Mash the mint, lime and sugar together with a muddler (if you don't have one use a fork). Add ice to the top of the glass and then poor in the run to almost the top. Shake it in a shaker for best results (or just stir thoroughly). Add a splash of club soda and voila!

Enjoy!
