Ingredients:  
1. Make your own mint simple syrup: 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar (use 1/3 brown sugar), heated until the sugar dissolves (you can use your microwave for this). Then let it steep with one cup of fresh mint leaves for at least 30 minutes before you strain it & store it in your refrigerator.

2. Instead of club soda, use cheap champagne to top off the cocktail.

3. Add a dash or two of Angostura bitters to your drink.

4. Consider using gold or dark rum instead of the light stuff (unless you're a Mojito purist).
Directions:
Directions:
1. In a shaker, pour in 1 ounce of your homemade mint simple syrup, and a handful of fresh mint leaves. Muddle this together gently, then add several ice cubes (or crushed ice if you have it), & muddle it a bit more, especially if you’ve got cubes you need to break down a bit.

2. Add 2 ounces of rum, 1 ounce of fresh squeezed lime juice, more ice, and the bitters; shake vigorously.

3. Strain into a tall glass over ice, lime wedges (or slices), and more mint leaves, and top off with a generous splash of the cheap champagne. Garnish with a mint sprig and serve.
