To complete this How-To you will need:
2 oz. light or gold rum
Some fresh mint
2 tsp. sugar
A lime cut into 4 wedges
Some soda water
Some ice
A collins glass
A measuring jigger
A muddler
And a spoon
Step 1: Pull off mint leaves
Set 1 mint sprig aside, and pull the leaves off the remaining sprigs.
Tip: Some mojito recipes call for as many as 2 dozen mint leaves—how many you use depends on how “minty” you want your drink to taste.
Step 2: Add mint, lime & sugar
Line the glass with the leaves and add the 4 lime wedges and the sugar. Gently muddle everything against the sides and bottom with the muddler or back of a spoon.
Tip: In Cuba, where the mojito originated, just 1 tsp. of powdered sugar is used.
Step 3: Fill with ice
Fill the glass with ice.
Step 4: Pour in rum & mix
Pour in the rum and mix again.
Step 5: Add soda & garnish
Top off the cocktail with soda water and garnish with a sprig of mint. Mojito!

Directed by five-time Tony Award nominee David Leveaux, Backbeat is making its American premiere at the Ahmanson Theatre in Downtown LA before moving on to Broadway. Backbeat is based on the 1994 film of the same name, and tells the story of the early days of The Beatles in Hamburg, Germany, where they performed rock ‘n’ roll covers every night.
For Beatles fans, Backbeat is an unforgettable trip to the early 1960s, when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best (the drummer before Ringo Starr joined the group) and Stuart Sutcliffe (the band’s original bassist) began honing what would become the world-famous Beatles sound. Backbeat features many of the all-time rock ‘n’ roll classics that the Beatles cut their teeth on: Money, Long Tall Sally, Twist and Shout, Good Golly Miss Molly, Please Mr. Postman, Rock ‘n’ Roll Music and more.
The show runs Jan. 30 – Mar. 1. Have fun at ticket master boys and girls.
