MOJITOS BY THE PITCHER
I have served this to people who have sworn that they dislike mojitos and they love it. I believe it is the fresh ingredients and the use of sugar, instead of simple syrup, muddled together that makes this cocktail refreshing and delicious. It takes a little bit of work but the results are well worth it. Serve over ice.

REFRESHING MOJITO BY THE PITCHER MOJITOS
This is a refreshing Cuban drink. It's hard to stop drinking these on a hot summers day. I made these for the fourth of July and we went on to 3 yes 3 pitchers! If you don't have a muddle stick try a mortar and pestle or the end of a wooden rolling pin. Please use fresh lime if you cannot go ahead and try the already bottled lime juice but if you do think about that when you rate this recipe! I did both and there's nothing like fresh! Same goes for the fresh mint if you need to you can use frozen but I DON'T recommend extract. And for the sugar real granular is what helps muddles the lime and extract the mint oils from the leaves.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your mojito will taste. This is especially true for the mint and lime juice.
- Choose the right rum: There are many different types of rum that can be used in a mojito, but white rum is the traditional choice. If you're using a flavored rum, be sure to choose one that has a light flavor so that it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.
- Don't skimp on the lime juice: Lime juice is one of the key ingredients in a mojito, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it. The amount of lime juice you use will depend on your personal preference, but a good starting point is 1 ounce per serving.
- Use simple syrup: Simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts sugar and water that is used to sweeten cocktails. It's easy to make at home, and it will help to balance out the tartness of the lime juice.
- Garnish with mint: A sprig of mint is the traditional garnish for a mojito. It adds a refreshing flavor and aroma to the drink.
Conclusion:
The mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's refreshing, flavorful, and easy to make. Whether you're enjoying it by the pool, at a party, or just relaxing at home, the mojito is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the mojito a try.
