🙋‍♀️ FAQ's

What can I use if I don't have a muddler?

The end of a wooden spoon or even a French rolling pin will work great!

Why is my mojito bitter?

If the mint steeps in the cocktail too long the leaves can turn bitter

Can you reuse mint leaves for mojito?

No, don't reuse the leaves, use fresh ones for each cocktail.

What glass should a Mojito be served in?

Typically a highball glass; a tall thin glass.

📓 Variations

Two festive cocktails garnished with fruit.
  • Make a Strawberry Mojito Mocktail by simply leaving out the rum. Adding a splash of simple syrup and topping with lemon-lime soda will make it perfectly sweet!
  • Switch up the flavors by swapping lime with lemon for a Strawberry Lemon Mojito.
  • Rim the side of the glass by with a small amount of sugar for extra sweetness.

👍 Tips
