What's on your schedule this weekend? School is starting back and summer is winding down. Squeeze the last drops out of your summer by mixing up a pitcher of classic mojitos. I remember having my first mojito (pronounced moe-HE-toe) in Little Havana in Miami many years ago and loved the taste of the mint with the lime. It felt so exotic at the time! Now, you can find many variations on this classic Cuban cocktail like watermelon, peach, strawberry and mango.
CLASSIC CUBAN MOJITO
10 limes pulp and juiced
30 whole mint leaves
¾ cup raw sugar
1 cup quality rum- I prefer light to gold
Club Soda, chilled
At Asia de Cuba, they garnish their mojitos with a stalk of sugar cane which is wonderful-- if you can find it.
Enjoy!
