I wish I could make this drink, but I'm just a poor college student without any highball glasses to call my own. Instead, I will follow the recipe as best I can using my brightly collored yellow mug painted with orange and blue giraffes, and rename the recipe 'Giraffe Mojito'. It may not have the cultural authenticity of a CUBAN mojito from Sandra Lee's kitchen, but I will smoke a cigar and read a book on communism to even things out. Thank you anyway, Ms. Lee, for the inspiración.
