Mojito: The Antidote to Monday

Coconut-Mojito_bottle It's finally summer here in Seattle (well, an on-again/off-again one, at least), and if you're not about to sail away on a fantastic summer vacation, I suggest you make a toast to whatever sunshine you can get here at home. Or, you know, just take the edge off a summer Monday with a few friends. A good way to do that? With a mojito in hand, of course. An easy way to fake the taste of paradise are the flavored rums from Rum Jumbie--they come in coconut, pineapple, mango, and vanilla. The mojito recipe below is equally delish with whichever flavor you choose, and tastes best while wearing flip-flops and a flower in your hair. No need to get fancy with the glassware either--mojitos are best served in tumblers or a simple pint glass. Enjoy!

Ingredients (serves 1)
1.25 ounces Rum Jumbie Splash
12 mint leaves   
1 tbsp sugar
0.5 ounces lime juice
2 ounces soda

Directions
1. Place mint leaves in bottom of glass.
2. Add crushed ice, rum, sugar, and lime juice.
3. Gently muddle.
4. Add soda water and garnish with mint leaves.
