Watch the Video Recipe – For a better understanding of the recipe, I recommend watching the step-by-step video tutorial.
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.
Strain – If you don’t like mint pieces floating in your drink, you can pour it through a fine mesh strainer.
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.
