If you’re going to have a watch party, you’ll need cocktails. Mojitos rose to popularity in the U.S. about the time “Lost” began its run on ABC. They also are a creation of the island of Cuba.
Also, the mint in our garden has begun its attempt to dominate the herb garden, so there’s no better time to pick it.

Oh, yeah, mojitos also happen to be delicious.

The Dharmajito

Ingredients

  • 5 fresh mint sprigs
  • 1 tablespoon *simple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 oz Dharma Initiative light rum
  • Dharma Initiative club soda

Directions

Fill a Collins or Pilsner glass with ice. Muddle the mint leaves in the bottom of a shaker. Add ice, simple syrup, rum,  and lime juice. Shake vigorously. Strain into glass and top off with club soda and extra mint leaves.

*To make simple syrup, add 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water and bring to boil. Once syrup forms, it’s done.

You can also make a pitcher of Dharmajitos with a cup of rum, 1/3 cup simple syrup and the juice of 5 to 6 limes.
