Mojito

  • 1.5 oz Light Rum

  • 2 bar spoons Raw Cane Sugar

  • .75 Lime Juice

  • 10-12 Mint Leaves attached to sprigs

  • Sparkling Mineral Water

  • Collins Glass (10 oz)

    Place mint, sugar, and lime juice in Collins glass. Muddle to express mint into sugar lime mix, but not chopping mint. Pour in about 2 oz sparkling water and stir till sugar dissolves. Add rum. Fill glass with medium cube ice. Top with sparkling water.

  • Garnish: Mint Sprigs

Mai Tai

  • 2 oz Medium Bodied Jamaican Rum

  • 1 oz Lime Juice

  • .5 oz Orange Curacao

  • .25 oz Orgeat Syrup

  • .25 oz Simple Syrup

    Shake all ingredients with small broken ice. (Crushed ice dilutes the drink too quickly.)

    Double Rocks Glass, Short Tiki Mug

    Garnish: Expressed mint sprig, 1/2 Lime Shell

  • Notes: The 2 oz of rum can be divided into a blend of 2 rums, but should always include some type of Jamaican. Dark Jamaican/Rhum Agricole Vieux, or Black Jamaican/Barbados are popular combinations.
