REFRESHING MOJITO BY THE PITCHER MOJITOS
This is a refreshing Cuban drink. It's hard to stop drinking these on a hot summers day. I made these for the fourth of July and we went on to 3 yes 3 pitchers! If you don't have a muddle stick try a mortar and pestle or the end of a wooden rolling pin. Please use fresh lime if you cannot go ahead and try the already bottled lime juice but if you do think about that when you rate this recipe! I did both and there's nothing like fresh! Same goes for the fresh mint if you need to you can use frozen but I DON'T recommend extract. And for the sugar real granular is what helps muddles the lime and extract the mint oils from the leaves.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the sugar and stir constantly until it is completely dissolved.

- Strain the mint from the syrup using a fine-mesh strainer.
- Transfer the mint syrup to an airtight bottle or jar, and keep it refrigerated.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Juice 6 to 8 limes , straining out the pulp, to produce about 1 1/2 cups of juice.
- In a pitcher, add the rum and 1 cup each of the mint syrup and lime juice. Add more syrup or juice to taste; make this base a little strong because it will be diluted with club soda. Keep chilled until needed.
- Just before you're ready to serve the mojitos, add the chilled club soda to the pitcher.
- Pour the sparkling mojito mix into ice-filled glasses. Garnish each with a sprig of mint and lime slice.

MOJITOS BY THE PITCHER
I have served this to people who have sworn that they dislike mojitos and they love it. I believe it is the fresh ingredients and the use of sugar, instead of simple syrup, muddled together that makes this cocktail refreshing and delicious. It takes a little bit of work but the results are well worth it. Serve over ice.

Steps:
- TO MAKE THE PITCHER OF MOJITOS: In a large pitcher, stir together the rum, lime juice, and syrup. Serve at once or refrigerate until needed. Do NOT add ice to the pitcher.
- TO MAKE THE SIMPLE SYRUP WITH MINT: In a saucepan, mix together the sugar and water and heat over medium-high heat. Let the syrup cook for a couple of minutes or until the sugar dissolves and the syrup looks clear. This will be about the time it takes for the syrup to begin to bubble. Remove from the heat and add the mint leaves. Cover and set aside for about 10 minutes, so the mint can infuse the syrup. Strain the syrup and use immediately or store in a lidded container for up to 1 week.
- TO SERVE: When ready to serve, squeeze a lime wedge over the ice in a rocks glass. Drop the lime wedge into the glass along with a few fresh mint leaves. Fill the glass two-thirds full of the mojito mixture and top off with club soda.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your mojito will taste. This is especially true for the lime juice and mint leaves.
- Choose a good rum: There are many different types of rum that can be used in a mojito, but not all of them are created equal. Look for a light, white rum that is smooth and has a clean flavor.
- Don't over-muddle the mint: Muddling the mint releases its flavor, but if you overdo it, you can make the mojito bitter. A few gentle twists with a muddler is all you need.
- Use filtered or sparkling water: Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the taste of your mojito. Using filtered or sparkling water will help to ensure that your mojito is refreshing and delicious.
- Serve your mojito immediately: Mojitos are best enjoyed fresh. Once they've been made, they will start to lose their flavor, so be sure to serve them as soon as possible.
Conclusion:
The mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's refreshing, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect mojito at home. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the mojito a try.
