This was just OK. We had to add a lot more sugar! And it needed more mint flavor. I think if you muddled the mint with the sugar it might help.

A refreshing drink for a hot summer day! I couldn't get fresh mint at my local market at this time of the year - so I substituted with 1/8 tsp peppermint extract. Thanx Rita!

For my first attempt at making a Mojito after Costa Rica, I'm glad I picked this one. It is super easy and was everything I was looking for in my memory of a fantastic Mojito. This one goes in the Keeper vault. Thank you ~Rita, my Mojito Queen
