Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your mojito will taste. This is especially true for the limes and mint.
  • Choose the right rum: There are many different types of rum that can be used in a mojito, but some of the most popular include light rum, white rum, and aged rum. The type of rum you choose will affect the flavor of your mojito, so be sure to experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Make sure your limes are ripe: Ripe limes are juicier and have a more intense flavor than unripe limes. If you're not sure if your limes are ripe, squeeze them gently. If they give slightly, they're ripe.
  • Use filtered water: Filtered water will help to remove any impurities that could affect the taste of your mojito.
  • Chill your glass before serving: This will help to keep your mojito cold and refreshing.
