This Mojito recipe is awesome. I’m been drinkin’ them for the last few days and been totally unproductive.  What’s awesome is, if you have a calorie avoiding crazy girlfriend, just use Splenda instead of sugar.  Then you’ll have a totally guilt free awesome drink!  That way, she’ll drink more!  We at Doodiepants cut down on the soda water and added more rum.  Just do it to taste.   Have a Mojito party!

And for our Costa Rica readers……Cacique works just fine.  In fact, I think I like the Cacique ones a little better.   If you don’t know the history of the mojito or where it came from  check the wiki article.

God bless Goodhousekeeping.com!  Thanks for the info.
