Notes
TOP TIPS:
- Don’t over-muddle mint: Too much muddling turns mint bitter. Light pressure is best.
- Use fresh limes: Bottled lime juice won’t give the same brightness or aroma.
- Swap lemonade for soda water: For a less sweet, more traditional mojito.
- Malibu twist: Adds a tropical coconut flavour - perfect for summer.
- Crushed ice = bar vibes: Use crushed ice for that classic mojito look and extra chill.
- Make a mocktail: Skip the rum and add extra lemonade for a refreshing mojito mocktail.
