Dark Rum Mojito

The most refreshing way to drink rum is without a doubt muddled together with lime and mint.  This is my favorite cocktail, and is the perfect to cool down in the summer.

Ingredients

  • Juice of half a lime
  • 3 teaspoons of brown sugar
  • 6 mint leaves
  • Crushed ice
  • Rum of choice (light or dark)
  • Soda water
I like to use my favorite golden dark rum such as Mount Gay, or for a real treat Mount Gay Extra Old.


Put the mint leaves, sugar and lime wedges into a tall glass and muddle together.  Add the crushed ice and rum then top up with soda water.  Garnish with a mint leaf.
