THE REAL MOJITO
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! Tonic water can be substituted instead of the soda water but the taste is different and somewhat bitter.

Steps:
- Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

EASY MOJITOS
It's hard to find mojitos at any of the restaurants in the small town I'm stationed in, and when I tried to make my own using club soda, they never seemed to turn out right. Using lemon-lime soda also cuts down on the amount of sugar usually used.

Steps:
- Line the bottom and sides of an oiled 8-inch square glass baking dish with a piece of plastic wrap, smoothing out wrinkles.
- Sprinkle gelatin over 3/4 cup water in a 2-quart saucepan and let stand 1 minute to soften.
- Heat mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until gelatin is dissolved.
- Stir in rum, sugar, and mint, then simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, while mint steeps, 20 minutes.
- Stir in lime juice and remaining cup water, then pour through a fine sieve into baking dish and chill, covered, until firm, at least 8 hours.
- While jelly is chilling, halve limes lengthwise and scoop out all flesh, reserving it for another use. Chill lime bowls, wrapped in plastic wrap.
- Place a cutting board over baking dish and invert jelly onto board. Peel off plastic wrap and cut jelly into 1/2-inch cubes. Spoon into lime bowls.
Tips:
- Use fresh limes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be slightly less intense.
- Make sure the mint leaves are finely chopped. This will help to release their flavor into the jelly.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the jelly by dropping a small amount onto a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- Allow the jelly to cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.
Conclusion:
Mojito jelly is a refreshing and unique dessert that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. With its bright green color and minty flavor, mojito jelly is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
