How to make a Mojito

To make a mojito you will need the following ingredients:

Mint leaves
Limes
Rum
Sugar
Club Soda
Ice


Step 1: Make the Syrup

To make the syrup, dissolve sugar in water by heating it up in a saucepan on the stove. Use equal parts sugar and water. In this recipe we will use 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. (If you wish to makes more mojito's, increase the ratio). Once the sugar has dissolved in the water, take it off the heat and add about 15 mint leaves and let them steep. Let the simple syrup cool. And remember, the longer it steeps, the more flavor your mojito will have.
