2007 – week 1 mojito
January5
This is the official Art Farm summer drink. When I moved here two years ago, the only things growing were thistles and mint. This year they are both still going strong, but at least we can make the best of the situation. Its Mojito time, baby.
6 fresh mint sprigs
4 tsp sugar
6 tbsp fresh lime juice
3 oz light rum
club soda
In a tall thin glass, crush part of the mint with a fork to coat the inside. Add the sugar and lime juice and stir thoroughly. Top with ice. Add rum and mix. Top off with *chilled* club soda (or seltzer). Add a lime slice and the remaining mint, and serve.
