Make a Mojito

Have you ever tried a Mojito? A few days ago, Thea found the recipe for a Mojito. So, off we went to SM Supermarket. All the ingredients were readily available. In all, we did not spend more than 200 pesos or about $5 US. When we got home, I was charged with making it. Here’s the recipe:

* juice from 1/2 lemon
* 1-2 slices of lime
* 2 tbs of brown sugar
* 1 jigger (what’s a jigger?) of Rum (Tanduay White Rum will do)
* some mint leaves
* generous amount of ice

Shake, pour, drink. My first concoction of Mojito was way too strong. I think the mistake was in my interpretation of “a jigger of Rum.” What’s a jigger, anyway? I just assumed that the word “jigger” meant “a lot.” So, without a care in the world, I just pour a lot of Rum into my first batch of Mojito. Though super strong, we both drank it! The second and the third and the… batches were delicious. Mojito is now at the top of our list of mixed drinks. Don’t believe us? Give it a try and let us know how you like it. Excuse me while I go make some Mojito. Chao.
