Ingredients:

- Lime juice
- Sweetener (optional)
There's a reason why experts consider mojitos to be one of the best cocktails to make at home. They're fizzy and incorporate fresh elements, thanks to the mint leaves and freshly squeezed lime.
I loosely followed a recipe from Tasting Table, substituting the 2 cups of water for club soda and skipping the sugar, as I tend to avoid adding artificial sweeteners to my cooking and drinks in general.
With the majority of the liquid being club soda, I added in one shot of white rum, the juice of one whole lime, and a small handful of mint leaves that I had chopped roughly.
I put the leaves into the mold first, then poured in the liquid.
For a second version, I poured the ingredients into my Nutri Ninja Blender and gave it a quick pulse. This was in the hopes of creating a smoother popsicle texture — sort of like a cold, blended cocktail.
