Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh

This is a freshly made Mojito and an extremely refreshing drink and with this heat wave we are ‘enjoying’ in Ontario one of these delicious drinks would go down very easily right now.  The humidity this week has been unbearable, for me any way.

This drink was made in Cayo Coco, Cuba and the Cubans have this cocktail down to a fine art. I have tried making one myself but it’s just not the same; probably because there is no sun, white sand and beautiful blue water to go with it smile.

The reason I love this drink is because it is not sweet like most cocktails. It does have a small amount of sugar in it, I hasten to add, and here is the recipe if you are interested in trying one for yourself.

  • 1 Teaspoon sugar (but you can add more if you prefer or use syrup)
  • Lime Juice (half a lime)
  • Fresh mint
  • Dash of Angostura bitters (optional)
  • Club Soda or Sparkling Water
  • White rum (single or double shot, up to you)
  • Ice

 

$13.99 from www.target.com

You put the sugar, lime juice and mint in a glass and then mush it together with a muddler, or the back of a spoon will work just as well if you don’t have the fancy bar tools. This brings out the flavour of the mint and stirs in the sugar.

Then add the rum and ice and top up your glass with club soda or sparkling water for a wonderful refreshing drink. You can add an extra sprig of mint for decoration if you are entertaining or feel so inclined.

If you would like to see this being done the professional way, which is a little different to the method I have just shared with you, then this is a good video to watch – How to make a Mojito.

Enjoy and stay frosty!Purchase artwork
