For a sweeter Mojito, use simple syrup instead of granulated sugar. Experiment with different types of rum to find your favorite flavor profile. If you don't have a muddler, the back of a wooden spoon will work in a pinch. Adjust the amount of club soda to control the strength of the cocktail. Make a non-alcoholic version by omitting the rum and using extra club soda or sparkling water. To make a pitcher, multiply the recipe by the number of servings you need and follow the same instructions.
