I'm confused, what are the exotic ingredients in a Mojito?
Rum - easy enough to get
Soda water - about as easy to get as Sprite or 7-Up
Lime - any grocery store should have
Mint - most grocery stores should have
Sugar - any grocery store should have

I can go one easier and cheaper:
Rum,
One altoid (it's curious and strong)
Half packet of pop rocks - that oughta take care of the carbonation and the 
sour lime flavour.
