Notes
- Use Fresh Mint – It will make all the difference to the flavor of your mojitos.
- Use Fresh Limes – You can use bottled lime juice, but it won’t approach the flavor of fresh limes.
- If you don’t have a traditional muddler, that’s okay! Instead of a classic mojito muddler, try using the end of a wooden spoon.
- Play with the ingredients until you get it exactly as you like it! Try using more or less lime or syrup, etc.
