In Scottsdale Cole and I had some of the best mojitos I have ever had. Some of my famous words have become, "You know, we could make this at home!" and that is just what we decided to do.
Here's how we made them at home...
 |
| Ingredients: Rum, tonic water, lime, mint leaves (crushed & whole), simple syrup and ice |
 |
| Squeeze two lime slices |
 |
Crush the mint
Disclaimer:crushing the mint up too much will result in a swampy looking drink and mint all over your teeth and mouth |
 |
| Measure out about a shot and a half of rum |
Add about 1 tablespoon of simple syrup
To make simple syrup....Combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water on stove. Bring to a boil, make sure all sugar dissolves in water, and cool in refrigerator.
 |
| After all ingredients are added (minus the tonic water) SHAKE IT! |
 |
| Pour in glass, add tonic water and anymore lime or mint leaves you want as a garnish |
 |
| ...and enjoy! |

Only thing that would have made these mojitos even better would have been warmer weather, a tall skinny glass & a sugar cane used a stirrer in the drink.
