Summer Mojito Cocktails
Guest post by Author and Cookbook Writer Sally Sampson
Warehouse to Your House.
I am anything but a drinker but if I were ever to become one, this would certainly be my summer drink.
Best described as sparkling mint limeade with rum, this classic Cuban cocktail is crying out for interpretation- although I have to admit some versions are way too whacky for my taste. Mine has more lime and mint than the standard fare. It’s a flavor combination I particularly love and I have an endless supply of mint growing by the side of my house.
For a non-alcoholic mojito, simply omit the rum.
¼- ½ cup sugar
¾ cup boiling water
1 bunch fresh mint sprigs
3 limes, thinly sliced, cut into wedges or thin slices
12 ounces fresh lime juice
9 ounces light rum
Ice Cubes
Seltzer
To make a simple syrup: Place the sugar and water in a small heatproof glass pan and stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is clear. Set aside to cool.
Place the mint leaves and lime slices in a large pitcher and muddle (slightly mash with the straight end of a wooden spoon) together.
Add the lime juice, cooled simple syrup and rum and mix well.
Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and divide the mixture evenly between the six glasses. Fill to the top with seltzer or club soda.

1. They will probably ask for a set of free samples. That is totally normal. You should provide that.![]()
2. They will require that you provide them with catalogs and/or linesheets. And YES, you do need to do that and mail them to their office. They will not print them for you. Ask them to email the linesheets to potential customers when possible of course.![]()
3. They may require you to participate in Trade shows. If this is out of your budget, try to negotiate to attend “some”, instead of all. If you can attend them all, your sales will probably be higher.![]()
4. Some will have showroom fees that are monthly payments on top of commission. Be sure to ask about that before getting too excited. This can be negotiated as well in some instances. If you are hiring a Road Rep, they should only ask for commission on sales.![]()
5. When paying commission, never pay in advance. Only pay for invoices that you have been paid for.![]()

Always follow your instincts. Don’t let people deter you from what you KNOW your customer likes. Be bold and ignore trends if your customer isn’t trendy. You will only sell what they like so stick to what you know works.![]()
