Mojitos

*Our signature drink at our wedding in July was the Mojito.  We remembered our wedding night last night with a tasty nightcap.

1 oz white rum
12 mint leaves
1 tbsp sugar (I recommend turbinado....sugar in its raw form, found in the baking aisle)
0.5 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
2 oz club soda

Add sugar to cocktail glass.  Add rum, lime juice and mint leaves, and muddle.  Add soda water and garnish with mint leaves and lime, if desired. 

We thought this concoction was perfectly limey, minty and fizzy.  Enjoy!
