AUTHENTIC PUERTO RICAN MOJITOS

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker, add in the lime wedges and mint leaves. Using a muddler or a wooden spoon handle, muddle the mixture for a good 30 seconds to 1 minute to really release the juices from the limes and oils from the mint. Add in the simple syrup, rum, and enough ice to nearly fill the cocktail shaker.
• Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 30 seconds or until ice cold to the touch. Remove the cocktail shaker lid and pour the entire mixture - ice, limes, mint, and liquids - into a fresh glass. Top with club soda or tonic water.

• Add a cup of ice to the cocktail shaker, followed by rum and lime juice. Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously until the shaker frosts over.
• Fill two highball glasses with ice and strain the mojito base into the glasses. Pour the lemon-lime soda to top it. Leave a 1/4" headspace so you can stir the cocktail.
