Mojito Cocktail Recipe - Liquor.com

To many people, the Mojito represents the perfect rum cocktail. The origins of the drink can be traced back to Cuba and the 16th-century Cuban cocktail El Draque, named for Sir Francis Drake.
Appropriately, almost all of the ingredients in the Mojito are indigenous to Cuba. Rum, lime, mint and sugar (derived from cane juice) are mixed with soda water to create a refreshing classic cocktail.
The Mojito is traditionally served over ice in a highball glass and often associated with summer. Like your cocktails with literary references? You’re in luck. The Mojito is said to have been a favorite of Ernest Hemingway.
While the Mojito is slightly more labor-intensive than other cocktails because it involves muddling the mint, the end result is a delicious, refreshing cocktail that can be enjoyed any time of the year.
How to make a Mojito:
3 Mint Leaves
2 oz Bacardí Superior
¾ oz Fresh lime juice
½ oz Simple syrup
Club soda, to top
Garnish:Mint sprig; lime wheel
Glass: Highball
Lightly muddle the mint in a shaker.
Add the rum, lime juice, simple syrup and ice and give it a brief shake.
Strain into a highball glass over fresh ice.
Top with the club soda.
Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wheel.

Looks pretty clean... I prefer the crushed ice version with lime and muddled mint in the Glas - and of course not Bacardi, but Havana Club!
