Mojito
The mojito is one of the world's most popular cocktails. It's a simple mixed drink of rum, mint, lime, sugar, and club soda, and a muddler and stirring spoon are the only tools required. While some bartenders dislike making mojitos because they require a bit more work than other cocktails, it's easy to make from scratch and comes together in just a few minutes.

STEPS TO MAKE IT
01
Gather the ingredients.
02
In a highball glass,
add the sugar, mint
leaves, and a splash of
the club soda.
03
Muddle just enough to dissolve the sugar and release the flavor of the mint.
04
Squeeze the juice from
the 2 halves of lime into the glass. Drop 1 squeezed half into the glass if you like.
05
06
Fill the glass with ice cubes and top with club soda.
The mojito is not a terribly strong cocktail. When made with 80-proof rum, the alcohol content falls in the 13 percent ABV (26 proof) range. That makes it equivalent to a glass of wine, only far more refreshing.
