Rum Drinks Recipe ⋇ Mint-Cucumber Mojitos

This refreshing version of mint mojitos features a springtime kick of cucumber. We love these at special gatherings and summer barbeques. A pitcher of this can be made a few hours in advance--just add alcohol at serving time.

Ingredients

• 1 lime, quartered
• 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 slices cucumber
• 6 cubes ice, or as needed
• 2 ounces white rum (such as Bacardi®)
• 4 fluid ounces club soda

Cooking Directions

1. Squeeze the lime quarters into a highball glass, and drop the limes into the glass. Add the mint leaves and sugar. Muddle well with the back of a spoon or with a muddler. Place the cucumber slices into the glass, and fill with ice cubes. Pour in the rum, then top off with club soda. Stir gently and serve.
