Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!
The weather is too cold this year to be outside, so the festivities are being brought inside! Last year, I made beer margaritas for Cinco di Mayo, which became a favorite summer time drink. I liked that I could make it in advance, leave it in the freezer, and when we had impromptu friends or neighbors stop over, it was already prepared and ready to serve. This year, along with beer margaritas and Corona, I will be making Mexican Mojitos.
Ingredients for Mexican Mojitos:
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 lime, cut into 4 wedges
- 2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 1/2 fluid ounces white rum
- 1/2 cup club soda
Directions:
- Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
