FAQ ❓

What is the best way to muddle mint for a mojito?

To muddle mint effectively, gently press the leaves with a cocktail muddler to release their essential oils without tearing them apart, which can lead to bitterness.

Can I make a mojito without rum?

Yes, you can create a non-alcoholic version of a mojito by substituting the rum with additional sparkling water or a flavored soda for a refreshing mocktail.

How can I enhance the flavor of my mojito?

You can enhance your mojito by adding fresh fruits like strawberries or raspberries, or by infusing the sugar syrup with herbs like basil for a unique twist.

What type of rum is best for a mojito?

A light or white rum is typically best for mojitos, as it complements the fresh mint and lime without overpowering their flavors.

How can I adjust the sweetness of my mojito?

You can adjust the sweetness of your mojito by varying the amount of cane sugar syrup you use, or by adding more lime juice for a tangier taste if you prefer less sweetness.
