Classic Mojito
Serves 1

20 fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 oz. rum
2 tbs. dark brown sugar
1 tbs. warm water
juice of 1/2 lime
crushed ice
club soda

Combine warm water with sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves, this is your simple syrup. Set aside.

In a tall glass place about 15 mint leaves. Add in rum, 2 tbs of simple syrup and lime juice. 

Use a wooden spoon to gently muddle the ingredients, releasing the oils from the mint leaves.

Add crushed ice about 1/2 way up the glass. Top the drink off with club soda and a fresh sprig of mint.

Salute!
