refreshing.summer.drinks

I made my first mojito of the season last night. I have some mint in the garden that I rooted from my aunt's house on the cape last year. I also bought a muddler at Sur La Table which is made for mashing up mint leaves and the like. Superfine sugar, rum, seltzer, and lime juice make it a super-duper warm summer drink. We ran out of limes though, so I had to use a lemon. There wasn't too much of a difference, but I do prefer the limes when I get to pick. It was delicious. I love summer.
