Fresh Mojitos

Description

This drink is refreshing and pretty to look at. It is perfect for a party or a light summer meal.

Ingredients

10 limes, juiced with pulp kept  (it's not nearly as good, but you can use 1-1.5 cups of lime juice)

30 leaves of fresh mint

3⁄4 cup sugar

1 cup white rum

1 liter lemon-lime soda (I prefer sugar-free)

3 cups ice

Lime slices

Serves 4-6.

Steps

1. Mix lime juice and sugar in a pitcher. Stir until sugar dissolves.

2. Muddle mint leaves in a small bowl and a few drops of the juice from the pitcher. Drop leaves and oils from the bottom of the bowl into the pitcher.

3. Add rum, soda, and ice. Garnish with lime slices.
