THE REAL MOJITO
This is an authentic recipe for mojito. I sized the recipe for one serving, but you can adjust it accordingly and make a pitcher full. It's a very refreshing drink for hot summer days. Be careful when drinking it, however. If you make a pitcher you might be tempted to drink the whole thing yourself, and you just might find yourself talking Spanish in no time! Tonic water can be substituted instead of the soda water but the taste is different and somewhat bitter.

Steps:
- Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the final flavor of your cocktail. Use fresh mint leaves, ripe limes, and high-quality rum.
- Use a heavy hand with the mint: Don't be afraid to use a lot of mint in your mojito. This herb is what gives the drink its characteristic flavor.
- Muddle the mint and lime wedges gently: You don't want to bruise the mint leaves or extract too much of the bitter pith from the limes. A gentle muddling will release the flavors without overpowering the drink.
- Use a good quality rum: The rum is the base of your mojito, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a light, unaged rum that has a clean, crisp flavor.
- Add the soda water last: This will help to keep the fizz in your mojito.
- Serve immediately: Mojitos are best enjoyed fresh. Don't let them sit around for too long, or the ice will melt and dilute the drink.
Conclusion:
The French mojito is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of fresh mint, lime, and rum, this drink is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give the French mojito a try. You won't be disappointed.
