  • My favorite mojito recipe:

    • 2 Oz (60 ml) white rum

    • 1/2 Oz (15 ml) rich demerara syrup (2:1 sugar to water ratio)

    • 1 lime, quartered

    • a goodly amount of fresh mint, ~10-12 leaves

    • a little bit of sugar

    • ~2 Oz (60 ml) soda water

    Build:

    Put a little sugar in your glass, chuck the lime and mint in, muddle.

    After you’re done muddling, fill your glass with ice

    Add a splash of soda water (not the whole 2 Oz), rum and syrup, stir until chilled

    Too the glass up with soda water, stir again to incorporate the soda

    Garnish with a fresh mint sprig

    Notes: I really like Planteray 3 star or flor de cana 4 for this recipe. Planteray has an earthier flavor while the flor de cana has a more fruity/tropical vibe. If you don’t have access to demerara sugar, you can use light brown or raw sugar for a substitute.


  • That’s fair and I get it. However, we’re in a great position to be making demands. I work in EMS and, on top of a dire worker shortage, our company has a hard time retaining what few EMTs and paramedics there are and we’re always incredibly short staffed. Our regional management is sympathetic to our problems and works hard to help us, but our corporate overlords routinely fuck us over. There’s more to it than that but nonetheless, my company is ripe for unionization and it’s frustrating to see this golden opportunity be wasted. Especially because I know we can do it in a horizontal fashion and fill the organizational void in my city’s medical field with something anarchic
