Instructions

Notes

Pro Tips

• For a richer mint flavor, clap the mint leaves in your hands before muddling to release more oils.
• Use fresh lime juice for the best taste; bottled lime juice can alter the flavor.
• Add crushed ice for a more traditional mojito texture and to keep the drink extra cold.
