Tips for the Perfect Mojito:
✔ Don’t Over-Muddle – Press just enough to release the flavors without turning the mint into bits.
✔ Use Fresh Ingredients – Fresh lime juice, ripe strawberries, and aromatic mint make all the difference.
✔ Chill Everything – Keep your vodka, club soda, and even your glass cold for a crisp, refreshing sip.
✔ Adjust Sweetness – Like it sweeter? Add a little extra simple syrup! Prefer it tart? Add more lime juice.
✔ Garnish Creatively – Toasted coconut flakes, a lime wheel, or a sugared rim can add extra flair.
