Amy and I went out for Thai food and ordered their version of a mojito. It was pretty much perfect. Except they cost $9. Who wants to pay $9 for a drink in a tumbler glass? Not I.
So I googled "mojito" and came across several recipes. I won't list them here, because...well they were terrible. Like really terrible. So I experimented and came up with a version that tastes pretty darn good.
What you'll need:2 oz simple syrup
3 oz limeade
2 oz lime extract (or fresh lime)
10 mint leaves
4 oz rum
2 oz club soda
How you do it:
Pour simple syrup, lime aide, lime extract, and 6 of the mint leaves into a shaker filled with ice. Shake the ingredients until mixed together.
Add 4 crushed mint leaves to a glass, add the club soda and the mixed ingredients. Enjoy!
Gather friends, find a view (like the East River at sunset) and enjoy!
