Notes

Although I always recommend using fresh strawberries, you can use frozen in a pinch. Do not use dried mint, though. The mint must be fresh! You can swap the mint for fresh basil or even rosemary if you’re looking to get adventurous. You can replace the white rum with coconut rum for a fun tropical flavor, or use vodka, gin, or tequila! Feel free to use 1½ teaspoons of simple syrup in place of the sugar if you have it on hand. If you don’t have a muddler, use the back of a large wooden spoon. Don’t over-muddle the mint, as it can become bitter and turn an ugly brown color. If you find your mojito is too sweet, add lime juice or a splash of Angostura bitters. Feel free to add a dark rum floater to your mojito for a deeper, sweeter taste.
