How do you keep cool under Miami’s blazing heat? By making a refreshing Mojito, of course!

1. Start by placing mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass.
2. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime. This helps release the mint oils and lime juice.
3. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release more lime juice.
4. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice.
5. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. 
6. Down Stir, and add more sugar if desired.
7. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
8. Voila! Serves one.

Be careful: enough of these cool guys, and you’ll be singing in Spanish in no time!

Thanks too for the ingredients.
