Mangojito

Ingredients & Directions

2 T fresh lime juice

2 tsp superfine sugar

1 C crushed ice

12 fresh mint leaves, plus 5 small sprigs for garnish

1/4 C white rum

1/4 mango juice

2 T club soda

In 10oz glass, stir together lime juice and sugar until sugar dissolves. Add 1/4 cup crushed ice. Rub mint leaves over rim of glass, then tear leaves in half and add to glass. Gently stir for 15 seconds, then add rum, remaining crushed ice, mango juice, and club soda. Gently stir for 5 seconds, then tuck mint sprigs into top of glass and insert tall straw.

You can also put your glasses in the freezer to keep your drink icy cold.

Mojitos are one of my favorite summer drinks and lately I have been craving mangos, so it only seemed right that I mix the two.
