Bev, When I saw the Cuban mojitos meet Hawaii I just had to try! I made for one using only 1 Tablespoon sugar, juice from 1 whole lime, 1/4 cup mint leaves, and for the rum I used 1/2 of a cup which is 4 liquid ounces!!!!!!! That is what this recipe calls for per person! I muddled the lime, mint and sugar topped with as much ice I can fit into my mojito glass. Then! A MUST top with seltzer which is not called for in this recipe. This is a great refreshing buzz and I rated according to my makings! Bev I love the twist of using coconut rum. Thanks.
