MEXICAN MOJITO
The mojito is so sexy and light that it would be a shame not to adapt the Cuban original to the Mexican model. The typical mojito is made with white rum, but a smooth white tequila works perfectly with the wisp of mint and sweetness. Tequila is a more versatile mixer than one might think, especially in drinks that already lean to the tart and citrusy. A very quick drink to make-and drink.-Deborah Schneider

Steps:
- 1. In a large resealable ziplock bag, place cut up melons with grated lime zest and juice from 2 limes. Add sugar, mint and tequila. Turn to coat and refrigerate for one hour.
- 2. To serve thread 4-5 melons on each skewer, discard marinade. Top with more lime peel and mint.
Tips:
- For the best mojito, use limes that are fresh and juicy. Meyer lemons or key limes may be substituted for Persian limes.
- Use a muddler to gently extract the juices and oils from the limes and mint leaves without overpowering the drink.
- Add just enough simple syrup to balance the sourness of the limes. Start with less and add more to taste.
- Use a light rum for a refreshing mojito. White rum is a popular choice, but you can also use silver or aƱejo rum.
- Serve the mojito in a highball glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.
