Drink And Be Merry!

The mojito I had earlier today, didn't hit the spot.
Why does one pay such a high price for an inferior (bottle mix) product.
First, make a batch of simple syrup. Equal parts sugar/splenda and water.
I used 1 cup Splenda and 1 cup white sugar, with 2 cups water
You need about 10 mint leaves.
1 lime cut into wedges
1 cup ice
2 oz white rum
1/2 cup club soda

Muddle mint leaves with 2 wedges of lime.
You want to release the oils from the leaves and the rind of lime
Put in cocktail glass
Add 1 oz of simple syrup to glass
Add ice, rum and top with soda
Garnish with wedge of lime
