Top Tips For This Easy Mojito Recipe
- Use a thick or highball glass.
- Always slap the mint leaves before putting them into the glass. Slapping the mint allows the essence of the herb to filter through the drink.
- Never tear the leaves, as this allows the bitter aspects of the stem to filter through the easy mojito recipe.
- Use the half lime as a shield over the mint. Muddle by applying pressure to the lime four times, making sure to keep the lime over the mint as protection.
