This is an authentic recipe for a mojito cocktail. 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.

  • 0.5 medium lime , cut into 3 wedges, divided
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar , or to taste
  • 1 cup ice cubes , or as needed
  • 1.5 fluids ounces white rum
  • 0.5 cups club soda , or as needed

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler and crush to release mint oils and lime juice.
