Special instructions:
Created by: Matt Bannister. Atlanta, Georgia. Popular around the West Georgia area. Essentially a variation on the Mojito (which is a classic Cuban drink) with a little Coke. Enough said. Enjoy!First make a simple syrup. Do this by taking 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water and boiling them in a pot. Let the mixture cool and then pour it into a vessel with a spout for easy pouring. This mixture should last you a while. Next, muddle the mint leaves, key lime wedges, and simple syrup (1 oz.)in a glass. What you are trying to do is get the oils from the limes and the flavor of the mint leaves to mix with the simple syrup. Then add your 1 1/2 oz. of Light Rum, preferably Bacardi Superior. Follow that by adding ice to your glass (cracked ice if you have it). At this point shake or stir the mixture. Lastly add Coca-Cola to the glass and that should bring you to the top of the glass. Give it a quick stir and you're good to go! Note: This recipe was designed to be served in a 9oz. rocks glass. Adjust accordingly to accommodate a larger glass. There's your Tony Montana...essentially a Mojito (which is a classic Cuban drink) with a little Coke. Enough said. Enjoy!
