Thirsty Thursday - Mojitos

Sorry for the lateness in the posting. Work has been absolutely manic this week, which, in a recession is always a good thing. So anyway, Thursday is thirsty Thursday. A time for a drink, and I was wondering how often drinks that people see in the movies sometimes become popular in the bars and clubs.

I remember how I often thought it would be cool to drink a vodka martini, shaken of course. But lets be honest, it wasn't that cool. But for just that short moment you felt like James Bond.

The again, James Bond also gave us the Mojito. Well technically it was Halle Berry, but what is a Mojito? Well for a cocktail it is fairly simple to make

Take some fresh mint leaves and put them in to the bottom of a glass. Crush them to release the flavours and oils. Mix with 3cl of lime juice and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Add 4cl of white rum (dark rum doesn't work as the colours do not match). Add some ice and shake to mix the flavours. Strain into a fresh glass, top with soda water and a sprig of mint and serve.

Sit back, kick back and relax...
