                Muddling with raw sugar makes for a delicious texture the the bottom of the glass. You can buy a muddler which is like a pestle, or use a wooden rolling pin end. Rim the glass by running a lime around the empty glass then dipping the edges in a dish of raw sugar. Then pour in the Mojito.

                First, I've got to say that I'm disappointed to see that there is no mention of muddling.  Muddling crushes the mint, which gives this drink a stronger flavor.  Anyway, here is a VERY good tropical twist on a mojito...  *Tropical Mojito - Instead of limes, use 5-6 pineapple chunks; instead of light rum, use coconut rum (like Malibu or Parrot Bay).  Tastes a lot like a pina colada, but without the cream.  VERY refreshing and great for a tropical-themed party!  :)  Enjoy!

                Just a variation - I've been to a Cuban restaurant where they crushed the fresh mint with the ice cubes, and used a lemon-lime soda in place of the seltzer.
