Mojitos are a terrific drink. We spent a week in Cuba once and drinking Mojitos was the best part of the week. The cervezas which came in label-less brown bottles weren't bad either!!
Serves 1. Place the lime juice, sugar, and 2 of the spearmint leaves in a chilled tall glass and mix them well, pressing down on the muddler to bruise the mint. Add the rum, bitters and ice cubes. Top off with soda water and garnish with the remaining mint leaves.
