Viva Mojito

Ahhh....Mojito.  Your smooth rummy sweetness coats my taste buds with the piquant blend of mint, lime and sugar.  Yikes!  After a couple of you, I can't feel my legs.  And I like it!

The perfect Mojito:

In a cocktail shaker, crush fresh mint leaves, squeeze 1/4 lime, add 1 T sugar (Splenda if you're trying to slim down or have diabetes) and a generous shot of white rum.  Add ice and shake.

Pour into cocktail glass (highball size) over ice.  Garnish with mint leaves and lime and add a splash of club soda.

Voila!
