Mojitos


For me, mojitos evoke summer. You have the mint straight from the farmers' market, the limes from the North End fruit & veg stand, and the refreshing mix of rum and club soda... Tonight Paul and I savored the taste of summer in a glass. We sat in our "formal room," put Van Morrison on the iPod, and basked in the feeling of not having to return to work for 10 days. Ahhh.

Here is my quasi-recipe (serves 2, twice):
*4 limes
*4 T sugar
*8 oz light rum
*~1-2 c. club soda
*a bunch of torn & crushed mint
*crushed ice Posted by Picasa
