Here's a variation of the above called Mojito Criollo.
Several sprigs fresh mint
Peel of 1 small lemon, without the white pith
Juice of 1 small lime
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup crushed ice
2 ounces Bacardi light rum
Sparkling mineral water to taste
In a mortar, crush the mint leaves. Combine the leaves and the remaining ingredients, except the mineral water, in a cocktail shaker, stir well to release the mint aroma, pour without straining into a tall glass, and top with sparkling mineral water.
