The World's Greatest Mojito Needs 10 Cane Rum

My wife and I have been trying for years to copy the formula for the perfect mojito. This mojito is served at Casa de Fuente at Caesar's Palace Forum Shops. No matter what we do in Vegas, we always make sure to make a stop at Casa de Fuente for this amazing Cuban concoction. But, like all great things, we want them even when we aren't in Vegas. Thus are many, many failed attempts at recreation. But this past weekend it happened. I told my wife, "It's time we stepped the rum up a notch. It's time we got the 10 Cane." Now, this isn't the most expensive rum in the world ($30-$40), but by God its no Captain Morgan either. Trust me, it's the deal maker.

You NEED 10 Cane Rum



Cut 3 1/4 limes and pick all the leaves off of a mint stem



If you have no martini shaker, try using a travel coffee mug



Add 2 tablespoons of sugar ... seriously ... 2



Shake that thing as hard as you can, pour into a class and top off with soda water - Voila!
