mad for mojitos.

I'm sorry, but you really can't beat a mojito in the summer. I just love the cool taste of lime mixed with the delicious, grainy taste of mint pieces. And what's even better is that this drink has sugar and alcohol. How could you go wrong? Here is my simple, easy and fast recipe. I got this from a friend who enjoys hot summer nights on her patio. This is not an exact recipe, so just eyeball it and personalize it to your taste. Enjoy!
Using a mortar and pestle, smash mint leaves.
Add lime juice to mint.
Add some sugar.
Fill high baller with some crushed ice.
Add light rum.
Add lime/mint/sugar mixture.
Top with lemon-lime soda (i.e. Sprite, Sierra Mist, etc.)
Add extra mint leaves.
If you want to get real fancy, add real sugar cane sticks.
