Chef's Tips
- Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh lime juice and mint for the best flavor.
- Muddling: Don't over-muddle the mint as it can turn bitter.
- Sugar Alternative: You can use simple syrup instead of granulated sugar for easier mixing.
- Variations: Try adding fruits like strawberries or mango for a twist.
- Non-Alcoholic: Omit the rum for a refreshing virgin mojito.
