How to Make a Pitcher of Mojitos

Mojitos are a great drink to make for hot summer days. Start with a pitcher, and soon your friends will be coming back for more. Follow these simple yet fun steps for the best mojitos on the block.

Things You'll Need

• 10 Limes
• 30 Mint leaves
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 1 cup white rum
• Club soda

Instructions

1. Start your mojitos by getting a large pitcher. Place the lime juice, sugar and mint leaves in the bottom of the pitcher. Make sure the pitcher is large enough to allow you to crush these ingredients in the bottom.

2. Next, use a wooden spoon to mash the mint leaves around in the bottom of the pitcher. This will release their flavor, which will be absorbed into the mixture. Really work the leaves into the mixture. Take your time and you'll be rewarded with the most flavorful drink.

3. Next, add the rum and a large amount of ice. Top off with some club soda. For a stronger drink, use less club soda. Throw some more club soda in for a lighter drink. Just experiment to see how you like it.

4. Finally, just garnish the drink with some fresh mint leaves and some lime slices for appearance. Now you are ready to start drinking your creation! Just remember to drink responsibly. Now go host a party and make your guest some mojitos by the pitcher!
