Mojitos are basically a summer in a glass. The real ones have rum, but we’re skipping that part. Here’s the hack.
Muddle about six mint leaves with half a lime cut into chunks and a teaspoon of sugar. Muddle means smash it with a spoon until it smells like a garden.
Fill the glass with ice. Top with club soda. Stir it like you mean it. Taste it. Add more lime if it yells at you.
This drink is so refreshing, it might actually make you feel cooler on a hot day. Or maybe that’s just the mint fooling your brain.
Pro Tip
If you don’t have fresh mint, don’t panic. Use a drop of peppermint extract. Just one drop, though. Two drops and you’re drinking toothpaste.
