OT: Wanting to broaden my drinking horizons...

[rogercv1 at gmail.com (Roger concha)]

what you'll need:  
2? oz. light rum
1 lime
1 tbsp. simple syrup
mint leaves (8 or so sprigs worth)
ice
club soda
tall glass
spoon, or some other utensil that can be used to mash the mint leaves 



. Make simple syrup: Heat equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan
until just before boiling and stir until the sugar has completely
dissolved. Make up a big batch ? say a cup of sugar and a cup of water
? than toss it in the fridge ? it'll easily keep for a couple of
weeks, during which time you'll be able to whip up mojitos at a
moment's notice, to the delight of your very fortunate friends.
2. Place the mint leaves and 1 tbsp. of the simple syrup (cooled) in
the glass, then squish it all around with a spoon (or whatever
appropriate utensil you can find) for 20-30 seconds, until you can
smell that good minty smell. .
3. Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice out from both halves into
the glass, then drop one half into the glass.
4. Pour in the rum and stir.
5. Add plenty of ice, then top off the mixture with club soda. Garnish
with a sprig of mint and enjoy!
