Tips & tricks

Clap the mint lightly between your hands before adding it to the glass. This releases aroma without crushing the leaves too much and gives a cleaner mint flavor.

Did you know?

Mojito gets its fresh character from the combination of lime, mint, sugar and soda water. The mint should only be muddled gently, because crushing it too hard can release bitter flavors from stems and leaves. The bubbles make the drink refreshing, while the sugar rounds off the clear lime acidity.
