Notes

- Check the FAQs – If you have any questions about ingredient substitutions, tips and serving suggestions, be sure to check the FAQs section located under the recipe card and the post above.
- Fresh lime juice – Bottled lime juice just won’t give you the same bright, zesty flavor, so always opt for fresh.
- Don’t over-muddle the mint – Gently press the leaves to release their oils without shredding them.
-
- Chill your glass – A cold glass keeps your Mojito cool and refreshing for longer.
- Roll the limes before cutting – This loosens the juice inside and makes them easier to squeeze.
- Mocktail – Use zero-proof rum for an alcohol-free version.
- Tip for Serving – Keep the cocktail cold with ice and serve in chilled glasses for the best result.
