Mojitos

After working in the yard all day yesterday, we wanted to make some refreshing drinks to take to Paloma's housewarming party.  Mint is taking over our backyard, so we figured mojitos were the way to go.  Since I don't drink liquor, Jason took the lead on making them. 

Ingredients for a Pitcher of Mojitos

• 10 limes
• 30 mint leaves
• 10 strawberries - optional
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups of white rum
• club soda



First, juice your limes.

Muddle the lime juice, mint leaves, strawberries (if you so choose) and sugar together.

Add to pitcher.

Fill with ice.

Add rum, club soda, and stir.  Garnish with some fresh
mint leaves and sliced limes.

It's that easy!  Anyone need some mint?  We have plenty around here!
