Mojito!

Dan and I love mojitos.  And since we’re pretty much home-bodies, we like to learn how to make the cocktails we would usually drink out in the scary, noisy world, inside the comfort of our living room.  A mojito is ten times better when enjoyed in fuzzy socks.

Mojito!

5 leaves mint

4 lime triangles

1 part white rum

4 parts tonic

1 part simple syrup

2 cups sugar (for syrup)

1 cup water (for syrup)

Boil your water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.  Set the syrup aside to cool.  In your glass, crush mint and lime.  Pour in your syrup and rum.  Top with tonic and ice.  Serve and enjoy.
