COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK #8!!
MOJITO
Dating back to 16th-century Cuba, the Mojito — made from rum, lime, mint, and sugar — was supposedly consumed for medicinal purposes. Eventually, it became known as the Mojito, as it first appeared in the 1932 edition of "Sloppy Joe's Bar Cocktails Manual." Sloppy Joe's was a famed bar in Havana and the Mojito only consists of ingredients native to Cuba.
10 fresh mint leaves
½ medium lime, cut into 3 wedges, divided
2 tablespoons white sugar or 45ml simple syrup
1 cup ice cubes, or as needed
60ML white rum
½ cup club soda, or as needed
THE KEY HERE IS TO REALLY MUDDLE THE MINT, SUGAR AND LIME WELL (REMEMBER TO SMACK TO MINT TO RELEASE THE OILS YOU'LL SMELL IT STRAIGHT AWAY)
