Notes

A truly authentic Mojito recipe would want you to use fresh limes. In a perfect world, we would do that.  We live in a time pressed world where some ingredients can be repurposed.  Not everyone in my household shares my appreciation for tequila, thus also giving us a new purpose for both margarita mixer and the sparkling lime soda.
