MOJITA
"The mojito (mo-hee-toe) was concocted in the 17th century by Sir Francis Drake. While crusading around the Caribbean when his stock of whiskey ran dry (which he always drank with mint and a little sugar water), Sir Francis substituted rum for his whiskey and the mojito was born." Officially, however, Cuba claims to have invented the mojito in the teen years of the 20th century. It was one of Ernest Hemingway's favorite libations when he visited La Bodeguita in Havana. This recipe is from "The Florida Keys Cookbook"

Steps:
- Place lime wedges and mint leaves in a pint glass.
- Muddle with the handle of a wooden spoon for 30 seconds.
- Add simple syrup and white rum.
- Fill glass with ice and top off with club soda.
- Shake or stir gently.
- TO MAKE SIMPLE SYRUP:.
- In a small saucepan, combine 2 parts sugar to 1 part water.
- Heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Cool before using (this keeps in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks).
- For a fruity twist to your mojito, use flavored rum, such as mango, banana, or pineapple.
- NOTE: Muddle means to simply bruise or gently pound the limes and mint leaves to release their juices and essence. You can buy a muddler, which looks like a tiny baseball bat or billy club, at any good restaurant store.
MOJI-TEA
A refreshing drink on a hot summer day. Add club soda and some rum for an adult-only version! Great to make up a few batches ahead of time and keep in the fridge for large gatherings. It goes quickly! Garnish punch bowl with mint, lemon, and lime slices if desired.

MOJITEAS
Based off my mint tea punch recipe, this is a quick and easy way to make an adult pitcher drink that is wonderful for those hot summer nights! The mint and rum make this cocktail reminiscent of a mojito, but the tea and juices give it an added twist! Add more rum to make it stronger, or reduce the kick by adding less rum and more cold water. It's a versatile, refreshing, and above all, easy drink to make. Serve over ice, and garnish each glass with orange and lemon slices and a sprig of mint. Enjoy!

MOJITO ICED TEA
This cold-brewed iced tea comes from Maricel Presilla, who serves it at her Latin restaurant Zafra in Hoboken, N.J. Oolong tea scented with osmanthus flowers, or with a sliced peach and its pit, suggests the sweet aroma of white rum. Fresh mint, lime and lemon balm are added and it sits for at least 4 hours or overnight. Sweeten with sugar and serve over ice.
