the hottest drink in Key west ...
Mojito
Thane likes this drink so much that I bought a mint plant and keep it on the
boat!
8/06 update:
sadly the mint plant has died after being accidentally watered with vodka.

Lightly muddle
mint leaves and lime in a tall glass. Cover with simple syrup or sugar and fill
glass with ice. Add rum and club soda; stir well. Garnish glass with
lime wedge and springs of mint.
Making simple
syrup:
2 parts sugar
to 3 parts water. Mix sugar well with hot water until dissolved.
Stores well in a closed container for several weeks.
Side note:
I use lots more rum and lots less club soda...way more
better! Simple syrup is much better than sugar.
