• Place lime and 12 mint leaves in a glass; mash together with a muddler to extract flavors. Add fresh mango; muddle until combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the mint simple syrup. Stir in coconut rum. Fill glass with ice and top with club soda. Stir 1 more time to distribute flavors.

THE REAL MOJITO

Steps:

• Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

TEQUILA MOJITOS

Steps:

• Add half the mint leaves to the simple syrup. Set aside to infuse, 10 to 30 minutes.
• Add the tequila to a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice. Add the simple syrup, lime juice and the remaining mint leaves. Cover and shake well.
• Fill 2 to 4 glasses with ice. Squeeze a lime wedge into each glass and run it around the rim. Add the squeezed lime wedge to each glass and strain in the cocktail mixture. Add a mint sprig to each drink. Serve and enjoy!

MANGO-PASSIONFRUIT MOJITOS

• Fill glasses with ice; top with cocktail. Garnish each glass with passion-fruit seeds (if using) and a mint sprig. Sprinkle ice cubes with a pinch of sea salt; serve.
