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:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your mojito will taste. This means using fresh lime juice, mint leaves, and rum.
- Don't skimp on the mint: Mint is the star of a mojito, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. A good rule of thumb is to use about 10 mint leaves per drink.
- Muddle the mint and lime juice together: This will release the mint's flavor and oils, which will give your mojito a more intense flavor.
- Use a good quality rum: The rum is the backbone of a mojito, so it's important to use a good quality rum. Look for a rum that is light and flavorful, such as a white rum or a silver rum.
- Add the rum and club soda last: This will prevent the rum from evaporating and the club soda from going flat.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and a mint sprig: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your mojito.
