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.

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:
- To make the best mojito jelly, use fresh limes and mint leaves. This will give the jelly the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice. However, fresh limes will give the jelly a much better flavor.
- Be sure to zest the limes before you juice them. The zest is where most of the flavor is located.
- When making the jelly, be sure to bring the mixture to a full boil. This will help to thicken the jelly and prevent it from being too runny.
- Once the jelly has reached a full boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. This will help to prevent the jelly from crystallizing.
- Pour the jelly into a mold or jar and let it set for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will give the jelly time to firm up.
- Once the jelly has set, you can enjoy it on its own, or use it as a topping for other desserts, such as ice cream or yogurt.
