This cocktail is made from fresh mint leaves, white rum, sugar, and lime juice. The sugar with the lime juice and mint make for a very refreshing cocktail that is best sipped while on the porch with a friend in the middle of summer. Here is a photo of the final cocktail.

This cocktail is a little more complicated to make than most, but the work is more than worth it. First the ingredients.

Here is the recipe:
1 teaspoon sugar(powered is better for this)
1 small lime
4 mint leaves
1 sprig of mint
2oz white rum
2 ounces club soda
First you take the sugar mint and lime juice and drop them in the bottom of your glass. Drop the lime wedges you juiced in there as well. Then you want to take a muddler and muddle these together gently until they are mixed and the sugar is dissolved. Add crushed ice then the rum and top off with club soda.
This cocktail is quite refreshing and light because of the mint in tandem with the lime. It is a pretty sweet cocktail from the rum and the sugar, but when you add all these things together, well you would be hard pressed to make another cocktail that embodies everything that is summer. Sweet, fresh, and tangy it is one of the most well known and loved cocktails of all time.
That is all for this week, hope you all have fun until next time.
