I made my first ever mojito.Meld together 15 mint leaves with 2-4 tsps of sugar and the juice of 1/2 lime. Fill a tall, skinny glass with ice. Stir in 1.5 ounces rum and 7 ounces of club soda.
Enjoy!
The mojito was good, but next time I will try to make a simple sugar mixture instead of using straight sugar. Hmmm....I wonder how well splenda would work?

if u use splenda and the bacardi 0 stuff it would be super diet friendly i bet:)
no no no!!! don't use simple sugar! you need to muddle the sugar (or granular sugar substitute of your choice) together in order to get the minty goodness released from the leaves.
an alcohol-free mojito is delicious, refreshing and a great replacement for diet beverages. i have been known to cut back on the lime a bit, eliminate the sweetener and pour the concoction over crushed ice to accompany me at poolside. don't take my word for it, give it a try!
The second time I made the mojito (pre-hi monkey's comment) I used a simple syrup. It was a sweeter mojito, like I get in the bars, but it didn't have any of the great mint flavor. Maybe 1/2 & 1/2 next time?
