Add half a glass of ice and top woth rum and club soda.

Notes
Use fresh mint: You can purchase it either from the grocery store or grow it yourself! Mint is actually an easy herb to grow and it makes a fun project with kids.
Sweeten as needed: You may want to put out a few different sweeteners. I usually have out sugar cubes, agave, and a simple syrup so people have choices.
Fresh or bottled lime juice: Fresh is always great if it's easy and accessible for you! Otherwise, you can purchase a high quality bottled lime juice and still get a tasty mojito.
Make sure to muddle: Muddling is the best way to extract all that delicious minty flavor!
Shaken or stirred: There's long been a debate between bartender as to whether or not a mojito should be shaken or stirred. I think it's up to you! And just know, no matter what, you're going to end up with a delicious drink
