I went to this place in Miami and tried my first mojito w/ a friend. I didn't like having bits of mint leaves in my mouth after every sip.
There are several different recipes for mojitos, but here is a original recipe:
1 part rum
3 parts club soda
12 mint leaves
half of lime squeezed
2 TBSP of sugar.
put the sugar, lime juice, and the mint leaves in the glass and muddle it well and then add your rum, and top off with club soda. ENJOY!
You can use this same recipe for different flavors of run. they make all different flavors, so try them all! :-)
An easier way I found to make mojitos is to use Sprite instead of Club Soda and Sugar. Also I will use lime flavored perrier (sparkling mineral water) sometimes instead of the lime and club soda, but everyone else's recipes before mine are accurate. Also, if you don't like the little bits of mint leaves, you can blend them with the ice and rum before you add the carbonated beverage. Then you end up with a nice little icee-style drink. I blended it all once and had a minor explosion.
shot of rum, preferably a mint flavored, a Limon, or if you want flavored try it with an orange or raspberry rum, a little sugar (splenda works well), mint leaves and a few limes, muddle (mush it), then add ice and soda water, I like to do 1/2 soda 1/2 sprite
I ordered a delicious watermelon mojito at a fancy restaurant one time. All they did was smash up a slice of watermelon in a regular mojito (w/ the mint leaves) It gave it a pretty pink color though and a slight watermelon flavor. It was refreshing.
