MOJITO
"You can drink a mojito without really thinking about it, and that's a pretty good recommendation for a summer cocktail," William Hamilton wrote in a 2002 article about the cocktail and its increase in popularity in the United States. The mojito originated in Cuba as a farmers' drink in the late 19th century as Cuba's rum industry modernized, making the mojito as common as beer. Only the rich drank it with ice and soda. This version is straightforward and simply perfect for a hot day. Muddle a handful of fresh mint leaves and some lime juice in the bottom of a glass. Then add rum, sugar, ice and a bit of club soda. Shake and serve.
