Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

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.
Important note about muddling: you're just looking to get the mint to release the oils, but not the chlorophyll. Dont beat the hell out of your mint, just press it against the sugar a couple times.
If you press the mint too much, it will give you a bitter herbal flavor that is not desirable.
Yes, however, do beat the absolute piss out of the limes. The granulated sugar is there to act as an abrasive as well as draw the oils out of the lime rind
