Mojitos makes 1 cocktail one Serving  10 fresh mint leaves  1/2 lime, cut into 4 wedges  2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste  1 cup ice cubes  1 1/2 fluid ounces white rum Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with club soda. Stir lightly, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedged I muddle the heck outta the lime and mint. Use top shelf silver rum and top quality cub soda and of course clear hard ice. I have tried many recipes from various sources and ths ione is easy and delicious and this is by far my fave. Cheers Sorry bout those extra nunbers and stuff-try to ignore em [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2018-08-13 16:48 ] [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2018-08-13 16:49 ] [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2018-08-21 20:35 ]

It's good for sipping. Also try Uncle Val's Botanical Gin, and if you can get it, St. Augustine Gin. These three are capable of converting non-gin drinkers to gin drinkers for life.

I am not tech savy, barely figured out how to get the photos on here let alone them getting flipped. Thank you I have found that, when using my phone, I take my picture AFTER I make sure the phone has detected the angle I'm holding it. Then it should take the photo, save it to memory, and then also properly display it and export it in the orientation which you intended. So -- I first aim the phone at my tiki drink so the phone is facing squarely in the direction of the subject material. Then I quickly turn (re-orient) the phone to ensure its sensor registers my new and desired "up" and "down" orientation and then I take my photo.

Those images dont show up at the wrong angle in emails and such; i dont get the computers haha. Will double check when i am snapping a pick to see the orientation. Thanks for the heads up!
