#MojitoLife

Just for the record everybody, there is ONE type of mojito. Ahhh yes, this drink originated in Cuba. Don't let anyone fool you. My family likes to go out to eat a lot. Eating together is one of our traditions. During one of these instances, my grandfather asked the waiter for a Mojito. The waiter responded with," What kind would you like?" My grandpa stared at him for a minute...actually we all did. "What do you mean what kind? The only kind there is." Yes it is true. Restaurants have now come up with a million types of mojitos. Rum, Tequila, melon, strawberry, pomegranate, mango. No, no, no! Although they are very delicious, there is only one type. The one and only original mojito. Ladies and gentleman, let me assist you. To make a mojito you need: Fresh mint, Rum, Limeade (the ones that come in the frozen juice cans), ice, sugar, and fresh cut lime. Man, I made a few of these this past weekend and everybody LOVED them! So please, educate yourselves. When you are at a restaurant or look up on google, "How to make a mojito" don't let them fool you. There are no such things as mojitos of other flavors. Back to the story, the waiter was confused. Knowing my grandpa, he asked the young man to sit down for a second so he could educate him. He started his story with, "See, when I came from Cuba..." We all looked at each other and just laughed. I was only thinking of the fact that I wanted to order my food! I was starving. After about a 15 minute chat with good old Grandpa Pipo, the waiter was pleased to say that he learned something new that day and continued to go about taking our orders. Oh, and one more thing. Don't forget to serve that mojito with a fresh piece of sugar cane. That will add the finishing touch.
