YUM!!! Try some mango flavored rum....amazing!! I muddle the lime, sugar, mint...then add the booze. Add ice...shake, shake, shake in a shaker then add the club soda. I agree with making a simple syrup. The best summer time drink.

I've had mojitos at several restaurants/bars and some places make them better than others. This recipe was right on with the times that i've loved my mojitos. I love them on the sweeter side. i added half a teaspoon more sugar than the recipe called for, but making it with what it calls for is excellent also. I would not go through the trouble of making a simple syrup as when you muddle the leaves with sugar and lime it really does start to incorporate the sugar. Even when i've gotten this drink when we go out, you still have to stir as you continue to enjoy your drink....our new summer drink for 2012!!!

Very good recipe after reading many bad ones. I approached only slightly differently by making it the way a bartender would make it. I simply muddled the ingredients in a shaker, added ice, then poured the rum over it. I shook the drink, poured it straight into the glas then added a bit more ice and topped with club soda. There was no sense of granular sugar in it. I used all 4 limes in the muddling, but I rimmed the lime along the glass edge. I also added just a touch of roses lime. I think if you were making quantities, simple syrup would make it easier but it's not required for a couple of drinks if you shake it well. The only downside is that you do get a fair amount of floating mint, but I think that adds to it both in aroma and flavor.

Try using Malibu coconut rum instead of the traditional Bacardi! My brother in law is a bartender and he made one for me with Malibu and I have never gone back! I also made a simple syrup to use instead of the sugar, which is how they make it at his bar. Simple syrup is 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Let the syrup dissolve in the water over low heat and then allow to cool. These are so refreshing on a hot day!
