the risa-hito is a wonderfully refreshing beverage for any season, best served over crushed ice and enjoyed with friends. -hey, i got a knack for introductions, no?
step 1: place 5-6 mint leaves in glass and cover with 2-3 tbs. of risa's vanilla sugar.
step 2: using a mortal (or pestle, i don't remember which one is the tool), gently crush the mint leaves to extract the oils. a simple syrup may be used, but the sugar has an abrasive effect on the leaves which brings out the fragrance more.
step 3: add crushed ice
step 4: squeeze the juice of 1/4 - 1/2 lime into cup
step 5: add an ounce (or two) of Patron tequila
step 6: fill the glass with seltzer water
step 7: enjoy!!
*note* -i don't actually measure anything when i make them, and i like 'em on the sweeter side.
