[Inez] Mojitos

This is actually from last month, but I was slow in posting. Stephen had a craving for mojitos, so we made some. You probably know how to make mojitos, and if you don't it's probably because you don't drink so you can go ahead and just skip this post, except that the mint is kind of pretty.

Mojitos. Mint (lots) and sugar (a couple teaspoons, to taste), and muddle it up.


Oh wait! Don't forget the lime. Cut a lime into wedges and add one half to one lime per mojito (to taste), then muddle it up. Muddle, in case you don't know, means mush it up with something that looks sort of like a very small baseball bat. To get the juice and the mint flavor and everything.


Add some ice to your glass and top it off with seltzer (a.k.a. club soda, a.k.a. sparkling water... yes, we had this conversation while making mojitos).


Basically delicious. I would venture to guess that this would also be delish and refreshing as a nonalcoholic beverage - just the mint, lime, a little bit of sugar, and seltzer.
