Our Drink for this episode is the Mojito. 

Mojito

5-ish mint leaves 

2oz White Rum

0.5oz simple syrup

Juice of half a lime

Club Soda or any Sparkling Water

Mint sprig and lime wheel for garnish

*pro tip: Place the mint leaves in your hands and give them a big *clap!* The air pressure breaks some of the cells and results in more flavor.

-Place the mint in the glass, squeeze the lime over the top, throw the lime husk in as well, then muddle well. 

-Add the rum and simple syrup then add ice. Top with club soda and give it a few gentle turns to cool the drink. 

-Garish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel and enjoy.
