Only 28 days....

...until Scurvy Awareness Day on May 2!

I urge everyone to drink your citrus in order to avoid this nasty disease. Here is one delicious way to do so.

Make A Mojito!

Take a few sprigs of fresh mint (this shows enough for 2 mojitos),

and muddle (smash) it with a couple teaspoons of sugar.




Add the juice of one lime (about two ounces) and stir well.



Pour lime juice and mint mixture over ice in a Tom Collins glass.

Add 2 ounces light rum.



Stir.

Top with an ounce or two of club soda.


Garnish with a mint sprig, and enjoy!
