Well, try as I might, I shall never be able to make a mojito as well as my pal Juan Carlos.
But, having witnessed JC make tons of fantastic mojitos and feeling confident I might be able to repeat the recipe, I recently did a little experimenting using some rum I inherited...and...well...I was able to make a pretty good mojito.
Makes TWO servings:
2 pint glasses
5oz rum
4 large spoonfuls of sugar
Juice from 2 limes
Fresh mint leaves, gently bruised with mortar and pestle
Club soda
2 handfuls of Ice
Mix rum, sugar and lime juice until the sugar dissolves
Stick some bruised mint into each pint glass
Put ice into each pint glass
Split the sweet rum solution between the pint glasses
Cover with club soda & stir
Wait about five minutes, stir again, and drink
YumYumYum. Still not as good as Juan Carlos's mojitos, though.

But who can wait five minutes?
Excellent use of fresh mint, which grows like crazy given the chance.
