IT'S MOJITO TIME!!!!

Well, summer is finally here.  Over in Boston the humidity has skyrocketed to 85% on a 90 degree day....gorgeous?  Maybe not, but something that will help cure your heat lethargy is a cold Mojito that's for sure.
First cut a lime in half, then in thirds, and squeeze two of the pieces into a glass.  Add 3-5 pieces of mint, depending on how minty you like it, and half an oz of simple syrup (equal parts sugar and hot water dissolved)  Muddle muddle muddle those ingredients before adding 2 oz of rum (whatever kind you like as long as it isn't spicy) Fill your glass with ice and toss back and forth between glass and shaker tin about 2 times.  Top off with soda water, garnish with mint, and try not to drink it too fast!
