Can't recap 2006? Let's have a mojito

Location

United States

Yes, this is a blatant endorsement of Bacardi rums. Notwithstanding the fact I lived 10 minutes away from the old Bacardi distellery, I honestly am of the belief that mojitos without Bacardi are not mojitos.

And grock knows I need one.

There is so much to write about 2006 that, honestly, I have no idea where to start. So yes, it calls for a good, "it reminds me of home" drink.

So here it is people ...

Liza's secret Mojito recipe
(1 serving)

1.5 oz white rum
Do I have to tell you which rum?

fresh spearmint leaves
The amount depends on how big they are;
Maybe 6-10 leaves.

1/2 - whole lime
The quantity depends on how limey you want it.
You cannot make this drink with lemons!

7 oz club soda

4 tsp. sugar
This drink calls for white sugar,
although some people use brown.
This is stupid because it changes
the impact of the rum. Might as
well make it with dark rum.

lots of ice

Peeled sugar cane for garnish

QUOTES

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

— Theodore Roosevelt
