The ingredients of your recipe are almost correct. A Mojito has 5 basic 
ingredients. Period.  Rum, lime, sugar, mint, and soda water. If they don't 
have these basic 5 ingredients then you can't call it a Mojito. 

Also, your measurements are mixed up... you say parts, teaspoon, cup. When you 
use measurements in a recipe they need to all be the same. In other words, if 
you choose to use ounces then you should give the ounce portions. A cup is 8 
oz, a .5 cup is 4 oz, and a 1/4 slice of lime normally equals a 1/4 (.25) oz. 
As for the "parts" I have no clue.
