World Cuisine Recipe ★ Easy Mojitos

It's hard to find mojitos at any of the restaurants in the small town I'm stationed in, and when I tried to make my own using club soda, they never seemed to turn out right. Using lemon-lime soda also cuts down on the amount of sugar usually used.

Ingredients

• 12 leaves mint
• 2 lime slices
• 1 teaspoon white sugar, or more to taste
• ¼ cup ice cubes, or as needed
• 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger rum (such as Bacardi®)
• 4 ½ ounces diet lemon-lime soda (such as Diet Sprite®)

Cooking Directions

1. Place mint leaves, lime slice, and sugar in bottom of a glass and muddle with a spoon until mint is crushed. Fill glass with ice cubes. Pour rum and soda over the ice; stir.
