Welcome to Thirsty Thursdays at the Shedquarters!
On a recent trip to Cuba, my friends came back with a new (some a renewed) love of mojitos. I’ve always been one that could take them or leave them, but these gals told me I had to try a mojito made “the Cuban way.” So here we go…
Here’s what you need:
- 12 -15 small fresh mint sprigs, plus 4 more for garnish.
- 1⁄4 cup sugar, plus.
- 2 tablespoons sugar, sifted (can use superfine sugar)
- 1⁄2 cup fresh lime juice, chilled.
- 3⁄4 cup white rum or 3⁄4 cup golden rum, chilled.
- 8 dashes Angostura bitters.
- 2 cups club soda, chilled.
- crushed ice
