Apple cider mojito

This cocktail is so absolutely crisp and refreshing. I was actually kind of surprised by how good it tastes.

A traditional mojito consists of rum, mint, lime juice, sugar, and club soda. For this mojito, I didn’t use sugar or a simple syrup because I figured the apple cider had enough sugar in it to make up for not using any. I also used chocolate mint because that’s all I had and I absolutely love the smell of chocolate mint. If you ever get your hands on any chocolate mint just plant it in a pot and forget about it. It will just come back every year and then some. By that I mean that I have my pot of chocolate mint on the wall of my steps outside and there is actually chocolate mint growing up from the cracks and crevices of the cement/brick steps because they drop their seeds and just grow anywhere. It’s also easy to take a cutting from the plant and just root it in water and plant it in another pot. Ok, so sorry for the ramble on mint…
