1 1/2 oz vodka
1 oz lime juice
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
5 raspberries
4 oz club soda
6 - 7 mint leaves

Tear up the mint leaves and add them to an old-fashioned glass containing the lime juice and sugar. Press the laves with the back of a spoon against the glass to release the aroma. Add vodka. Fill the glass with ice cubes and top off with club soda. Add the raspberries. Mix it with a spoon so that mint leaves and raspberries get distributed throughout the glass. Serve.

Why vodka?

Why would you use vodka for a Cuban drink instead of rum?

Rum is more traditional but i think vodka gives a more cleaner taste and lets the lime, mint and rasberry flavor come thru.
Use a good vodka, not a cheap one.
