Something about the combination of mint, lime and gin screams summer. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a Saturday afternoon on the porch, a mojito is the perfect accent to a hot day. And even better, it's super easy to make yet looks like you know your way behind the bar.
1 part rum
3 parts club soda
12 mint leaves
1/2 lime
sugar to taste
Place mint leaves, sugar and lime in a glass. Muddle well with a pestle. Add rum, top off with club soda, stir well and garnish with sprigs of mint or a lime wheel. And last, but not least, enjoy.
You can't go wrong with Bacardi's Classic Mojito. The best part? Get as creative as you like with every flavor from peach to raspberry to coconut.
Pottery Barn's Recycled Glass mojito set is not only environmentally friendly, something we love around these parts, but is perfect for entertaining. The hand-blown glasses have an extra thick base perfect for meddling.
