Mojitos

I had oodles of leftover mint from something the other day, so we emailed Tiffany to see if she wanted to hang out and make mojitos. It seemed like a really logical thing to do. Naturally, she thought this was an excellent idea, so we got to go hang out with a friend we don't see nearly often enough, and a good time was had by all (to use an old Colby Outing Club saying. "There were no tears, and a good time was had by all" is the way you finished every trip report. Unless of course there were tears, and some people did not actually have a good time). We improvised a muddler, using a rubber band to hold together a bunch of chopsticks - it worked pretty well.



Mojitos
For each glass:
Fill about 3/4 with fresh mint leaves. Add some simple syrup, maybe 1-2 tablespoons of it. Muddle the leaves. Add about a shot of rum, preferably good rum. Pour in the juice of a lime. Fill to the top with bubble water. Stir it around with your make-shift muddler. Garnish with a lime wedge, and an optional raspberry (it's pretty!).
