totally delicious (and totally bastardized) mojito

I had mojito ingredients on hand, and decided to make this altered drink which probably can't technically be called a mojito, but can technically be called Awesome.

I used my super awesome five-blade herb scissors

and cut up the mint leaves into a tall glass.

Then I used my equally awesome lemon press

and squished half of a small lime into my glass.

I splashed some vanilla rum over the lime, still in the lemon press, just to get all the lime juices and skin oils into the glass.

Added about 2 oz. or so of vanilla rum (I don't actually measure anything).
Filled glass with ice.
Added (diet) ginger ale to the top.

Total. Awesomeness.
