 Here is my recipe for a pitcher of mojito, adapted from  Mojitos by the Pitcher Recipe . 3/8 cup granulated white sugar 36 mint leaves 3 medium limes, quartered 1 cup rum, preferably Castillo Silver Puerto Rican rum 1 liter coconut seltzer 1. Muddle sugar and mint leaves in a pitcher 2. Add limes and muddle until limes are juiced 3. Add rum and seltzer, and stir until sugar is dissolved 4.

I recommend this muddler and spoon to make the muddling and mixing in the pitcher easy:  Amazon.com: tifanso Muddler for Cocktails, 10" Muddler and Long Handle Bar Cocktail Mixing Spoon, Stainless Steel Stirrer, Bar Accessories Tools for Mojitos Fruit Drinks: Home & Kitchen
