I've tried a few different recipes and this is the simplest one and it's really good so it's my favorite. Mojitos are probably my favorite cocktail and it's really easy to keep everything you need on hand.
Pro Tip: Growing your own mint for mojitos and to use in tea is easy and worthwhile.
Bonus Pro Tip: If you can get your hands on an orange mint plant, try replacing half the mint leaves with orange mint. They taste AMAZING!
1. Rinse mint leaves and drop them in the bottom of a strong glass along with one of the lime wedges and crush them up with a muddler.
2. Add the other two lime wedges and 2 Tablespoons of sugar and muddle it all again.
3. Fill the glass most of the way with ice cubes.
4. Pour in the rum and fill the rest of the way with club soda.
5. Stir and taste. Depending on the size of your glass and your preferences you may want to add a little more sugar.
6. Enjoy!
