What you should know

The above recipe is the basic for a mojito. I use my own simple syrup made with mint tea and cut back a little on the sugar.

If you are one of those that needs it cold, you can muddle mint, limes, and sugar in shaker. Add crushed ice and rum, shake and strain into glass. Top with club soda and garnish.
