Good guidelines, but this tastes better with a few changes. I used simple syrup and added mint and lime to taste (a little extra). Also, a little more run and less soda ;)Overall, a good recipe.

This is a real mojito drink like at the bar.Making the simple syrup is a must don't subsitute any of the ingredients. I made this for some people who don't drink mixed drinks and know they always request this when we have a gathering.

Great summer drink, very refreshing. I put a sugar rim on the glass for presentation, and it looked as good as it tasted!

This is a "real" mojito. Very, very good and easy. Mint is very easy to grow in your own garden, so you can have fresh leaves whenever needed.

We used vodka, which was really good - it's probably great with rum too. I strained ours though, because I don't like pulp.

i thought this was excellent. i added 2 oz of rum per drink because i like them stronger. i used a wooden spoon to muddle and it worked great. i will definitely be making these again.

Picked some mint from my neighbors yard and mashed it in a bowl with an ice cream scoop. Used the simple syrup technique. The only problem was I didn't make enough (and I increased the recipe to 6 servings!)

Right on. I have mint growing wild in my yard so it's always available. I like how this recipe calls for sugar that you mix in when preparing the drink. I know some will argue simple sugar is a better way to go, but I thought the results were identical. When I made this, I didn't have club soda so I used carbonated spring water and it was a little less tart. I'm going to keep making it with carbonated water.

I think that the proportions are a bit off in this recipe -- my guests added quite a bit more limes and sugar to make the pitu palatable. A tip we discovered: if you're getting lazy crushing limes (and who doesn't after drinking a few?), add a tablespoon of lime juice and save some time.

Still my recipe was altered a bit. You could use the 2 oz of rum. You would muddle the fourth lime wegde as well as is not just a garnish. The ice goes to the top and so does the Soda or Seltzer water. Just make sure you dont strain or muddle the limes too much or it would turn sour.U should use ultrafine GRANULATED sugar (NOT THE POWDERED KIND), which is specially for beverages and can be used also for baking, next to the granulated sugar in the supermarket. Also if you are not able to use use sugar for health reasons or trying to cut on sugar, you could use Lemon Lime Crystal Lite. Follow this directions: Place mint leaves into a sturdy glass. Add a little bit of the rum and use a muddler to crush the mint to release the mint oils. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir. Add Crystal Lite to taste (start with a 1/4 teaspoon, stir and go from there. ( a little Crystal Lite goes a long way).

I've been making this recipe for a while now, but have found a low-carb version for all my "atkins-type" friends. I simply substitute splenda and diet sprite for the sugar and soda--not sure if you can make simple syrup w/splenda, but I don't see why not...

UMMM! So good- gave 4 stars but would be 5 with my revisions. I took other suggestions and simmered equal amts of sugar and water and used that in place of the sugar. I probably didnt use the full amt of club soda- just topped it off. Very refreshing and yummy. Add more sugar to taste- I like mine sweet...
