I bunch fresh mint leaves
6 to 8 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup white rum
6 cups club soda
6 cups crushed ice
Wash and stem the mint leaves, reserving 6 whole sprigs for garnish. Place the mint leaves in the bottom of a sturdy pitcher and add the sugar. Mash the mint leaves and sugar together, using the tip of a wooden spoon -- this extracts the mint oils. Add the lime juice and rum and stir until the sugar is dissolved. The recipe can be made several hours ahead to this stage. However, expect some discoloring in the mint leaves if you make the mojitos more than 20 minutes ahead.
Just before serving, add the club soda and gently stir to mix. Partially fill 6 highball glasses with ice. Add the mojito mixture and garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint.

A Mojito is a traditional Cuban drink.
* 1 tsp. sugar
* 1 tbsp. lime juice
* Several sprigs of mint
* 1 oz. dry white rum
* 2 oz. club soda
For each mojito, mix sugar and mint in a glass. Muddle the mint leaves. Add lime juice. Add 3 or 4 ice cubes and mint sprigs, then pour in rum and club soda. Stir well, garnish with a bit more mint, and serve.

It's a nice Cuban drink.
Use 1-2 fresh mint leaves in a tall glass, crush them slightly, add a teaspoon of sugar and a shot of white rum, stir until the sugar is desolved, add crished ice and fill with club soda. Enjoy.

Great drink.... one of my favourites...
bacardi white rum (traditionally it is a Havana Club from Cuba)
10-12 mint leaves
5-6 lime chunks
1 tsp white granule sugar
lime juice and sugar syrup to balance the drink
ice
soda to top
muddle the lime, mint and the sugar and add sugar syrup and lime juice to balance the drink to your liking....add the rum and the ice and shake the drink.... pour into a tall glass and top up with soda.... best enjoyed through a straw as the idea is to feel the sugar and the mint while you sip on this delightful cuban cocktail...
Cheers!!!
