Mojito

Ingredients

12 mint leaves
2 tsp sugar (or 2 sugar cubes)
1/2 lime
1 oz rum
ice
5 oz club soda


Directions

Muddle the mint leaves, sugar, and lime. Add rum and stir. Fill glass with ice; top with soda.


Notes

I like my drinks weaker. For my husband, I upped the rum to 1 1/2 oz and cut the soda to 3 oz. For the soda, I used what I had on hand—orange La Croix. There are so many mojito methods—I found this video by AskMen and found it useful (and entertaining).
