Cuban Mojito recipe
the original authentic recipe from Havana Cuba
1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Juice from 1 lime (2 ounces)
4 mint leaves
1 sprig of mint
Havana Club white Rum (2 ounces) or any white rum
2 ounces club soda
Place the mint leaves into a long mojito glass (often called a "collins" glass) and squeeze the juice from a cut lime over it!. You'll want about two ounces of lime juice, so it may not require all of the juice from a single lime!. Add the powdered sugar, then gently smash the mint into the lime juice and sugar with a muddler (a long wooden device pictured below, though you can also use the back of a fork or spoon if one isn't available)!. Add ice (preferably crushed) then add the rum and stir, and top off with the club soda (you can also stir the club soda in as per your taste)!. Garnish with a mint sprig!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

With the mixes, all you need to do is add ice and rum!. You could add your own mint if you wanted, but the 'mix' is supposed to have that mint flavor!. They do not taste as good!. In fact, some of them are down right disgusting!. I haven't yet found a mojito mix that didn't taste like nasty minty sugar water, Yuck!.
I prefer to make mine from scratch!. They're really not that difficult to make and they are so refreshing on a warm day!.
And yes, you can use sugar cubes, but you'll have to muddle them down a lot to break them up!.
My recipe is:
In a cocktail shaker:
1/2 oz simple syrup (plain sugar will work too)
3 or 4 mint leaves
3 or 4 lime wedges
Muddle together until the leaves and limes start to break down!.
Add ice and 2 1/2 oz of Bacardi Limon!. (Any rum will do, but I prefer a citrus rum!. It really makes a BIG difference!.)
Shake and pour into a sugar rimmed glass!. Top off with a splash of soda water and a lime to garnish!.
Kick back in a hammock and enjoy!Www@FoodAQ@Com
