Question:
Chrissy, I like Mojitos but it is a lot of work to make them. A friend told me that I can get the same effect by pouring a glass of rum and adding Lik-A-Made and a piece of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. Will this work? -Louis Mellado

Thanks for you question Louis. The best way to make a Mojito is the correct way. It will be sure to bring a little of old Havana into your next party or gathering...

1.5 oz Rum
12 fresh spearmint leaves
1/2 lime
7 oz club soda
2 oz. simple syrup

For the smoothest majitos, gently crush mint leaves and lightly squeeze lime in a cool tall glass. Pour sweet syrup on top to cover and fill glass with ice. Add rum, club soda, and stir your emerging mojito well. Garnish with a lime wedge, a few sprigs of mint, toast, sip, and enjoy mojitos with your friends.

Although I never heard of your rum, Lik-A-Maid, and gum idea, I HAVE heard that if you sneeze, burp and fart at the same time YOU WILL DIE!!!

Cockroach Party Ideas

A Cockroach Party??? Well, since its' awfully hard to kill a cockroach, it will be next to impossible to kill this good time!!!

Good drink, good food, good music, and good fun are the keys to this event. I understand that this is the 25th anniversary of the band, so after a quarter of a century, hopefully the food is not stale, along with the music and fun.

A great way to get people in the mood is a cocktail. Why not start off with the FLAMING COCKROACH! The ingredients are 2 oz. Kahlua, 2 oz. 151 Proof Rum, and 2 oz. Jose Cuervo Tequila. Pour Kahlua in glass, add 151, then layer tequila on top. Light, after flame is out drink quickly through a straw.

Fill up your guest will a variety of foods. At an event like this, a large meal is out of the question, so have guests prepare dishes to pass. It will add to the variety, and all guests will find something to their liking.

I know the band will be awesome. This will be my first "Cockroach" experience and I'm looking forward to it.

I know all will have a great time.
