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!

Ingredients

  • mint leaves: 10 piece (fresh)
  • medium lime, cut into 3 wedges: 0.5 piece (divided)
  • white sugar: 2 Tbsp (to taste)
  • ice cubes: 1 cup (or as needed)
  • ½ fluid ounces white rum: 1 piece
  • club soda: 0.5 cup (or as needed)
