My boyfriend’s roommate is a huge Phoenix Suns fan, so naturally, for his surprise 22nd BIRTHDAY party, we were consistent with the theme. Purple & orange balloons, jell-o shots, streamers, lights, decorations and a life-size Steve Nash pinata. We used foam, paint and glitter to create “Suns” cake toppers, etc.
I apologize for the shoddy quality of the Blackberry RIM device camera.

Perfect summer mojitos. This is why I love Craft Magazine & The Craftzine Blog.
The Classic Mojito
Ingredients and Utensils
Rum Light or dark, depending on your preference.
Club soda
Sugar or Simple Syrup
Limes They should be washed and cut in half (you use a whole half in each drink).
Mint A generous handful of washed leaves per drink.
Ice Lots of ice makes the drink wonderful.
Shot glass
Tall drinking glass Mojitos are best served in a tall glass. I’m not sure why this is true, but it is, trust me.
Muddler A wooden spoon works well; we use a piece of driftwood we found a few years back
Directions
- Put a handful of mint leaves (20 or so) into the bottom of your drinking glass. Add 2 teaspoons of sugar or an equivalent amount of simple syrup. Add a splash of club soda, and begin to mix this with your muddler. You want to really press down on the mint leaves, smoosh them against the sides of the glass, for a good 10-15 seconds, maybe longer, to release the aromatic oil from the leaves.
- Squeeze half a lime into the glass, dropping the whole rind into the glass as well. Add a shot of rum (or 2, depending on the size of the glass and your taste for rum) and mix well.
- Fill the glass with ice, and then add club soda to the top.
- Mix again, and then garnish with a sprig of mint, a long, thin piece of sugar cane, or both.
- Take your first sip, smack your lips, and say “Ahhhhh.” You’re done!
