Tips:

Choose the freshest ingredients possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your mojito.
Use a good quality rum. A good rum will have a smooth, rich flavor that will complement the other ingredients in the mojito.
Don't skimp on the mint. Mint is the star of the mojito, so be sure to use plenty of it.
Muddle the mint and sugar together gently. You don't want to crush the mint leaves, just bruise them slightly to release their flavor.
Add the rum, lime juice, and club soda last. This will help to preserve the bubbles in the club soda.
Serve the mojito immediately, garnished with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.

The mojito is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is refreshing, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make a mojito that will impress your friends and family.
