One of the things I did in preparation for my Cuban dinner party was to work on a mojito recipe. I have made several batches inspired by recipes and just intuition, but my favorite has been from Cooks Illustrated, which I will share with you below:
Mojitos
1 cup packed fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup superfine sugar, plus extra to taste
3 cups carbonated water
1 1/2 cups light rum
1 cup lime juice from 8 limes
Pinch salt
Using a wooden spoon, muddle (crush) the mint and sugar in a pitcher until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the water, rum, lime juice, and salt and season with additional sugar to taste.
Pour the mixture over ice and serve.
