Mojito

This is the perfect mojito for me. Deceptively smooth. Sometimes I'll cut the spent lime shells in half and add a couple of pieces to the drink for visual effect.

I have tried a lot of Mojitos (that is drank.) This was nice! Prepared for ZWT5 Team Jammin Java Jivers.

I had to tweak it a little to suit my tastes but everyone is different. I prefer mine with a little less rum and sugar and more lime. But this is a great base to make it at home instead of paying through the nose at a bar...especially when I've had some terrible ones at bars!

Great recipe! We cut down on the sugar just a bit though, as our first ones were a bit too sweet for us. Made for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers, ZWT4
