Mojito is a traditional Cuban punch. The cocktail often consists of five ingredients: white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint. Its combination of sweetness, citrus, and herbaceous mint flavors is intended to complement the rum, and has made the mojito a popular summer drink.
Play with the quantities to suit your taste.

Tips
No muddling lime wedges: You see some bartenders muddling lime wedges in the glass. I prefer not to do this because over enthusiastic muddling can release the bitterness from the white part of the lime into the drink.
