Kuch Khaas Hai...

These popular cuban cocktails have a bracing citrus-mint flavor that curbs the taste of the rum; white rum is preferred over darker types for its clarity of color. Served over crushed ice and topped off with seltzer; moijitos are a thirst-quenching option for summer parties.



Ingredients

Makes 2 cocktails

* 6 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or about 3 limes
* 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
* 4 sprigs fresh mint
* Seltzer
* 3 ounces white rum

Directions

1. In a small pitcher, combine lime juice, superfine sugar, and 2 sprigs mint; stir until sugar has dissolved. Add rum, and stir to combine. Fill 2 tall cocktail glasses with crushed ice.
