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 for Making the Perfect Mojito del Sol
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your mojito will taste. This is especially true for the mint and lime juice.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to make a mojito, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could try adding different fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
- Make sure your mojito is well-balanced: A good mojito should have a balance of sweet, sour, and bitter flavors. If your mojito is too sweet, add more lime juice. If it's too sour, add more sugar. And if it's too bitter, add more club soda.
- Serve your mojito immediately: Mojitos are best enjoyed fresh. Once they've been made, they start to lose their flavor, so serve them as soon as possible.
