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.

EASY MOJITOS
It's hard to find mojitos at any of the restaurants in the small town I'm stationed in, and when I tried to make my own using club soda, they never seemed to turn out right. Using lemon-lime soda also cuts down on the amount of sugar usually used.

Tips:
- For the best Mojito Lemon-Lime Cocktail, use fresh limes and lemons. The citrus flavor will be much brighter and more pronounced.

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of rum. A white rum will give you a lighter cocktail, while a dark rum will give you a richer, more full-bodied drink.
- If you like your Mojito Lemon-Lime Cocktail a little sweeter, you can add more simple syrup to taste.
- Garnish your cocktail with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a refreshing and festive touch.
