The Cuban Mojito

• 1 12 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 fluid ounce lime juice
• 2 mint sprigs
• 2 -3 ice cubes
• 2 fluid ounces white rum
• 6 dashes Angostura bitters
• 13 12 fluid ounces club soda
• 1 -2 lime wedge (optional)

1. Add sugar and lime juice into a tall glass and stir.
2. Add mint sprigs and muddle a few seconds (even a wooden dowel will work if you don't have a pestle).
3. If you want a fresh lime wedge add now and crush the wedge with the pestle.
4. Add ice cubes.
5. Pour in the rum.
6. Add about 6 dashes of bitters.
7. Pour in the club soda (watch, the soda will fizz over the top if you're not carefull).
8. Stir with a straw or swizzle stick.
9. A straw might be preferable to keep from sucking up the mint leaves that float at the top.
10. Stir as needed when drinking.
