Notes
- Also blend strawberries instead of muddling, all up to you.
- The mint simple syrup can be made as well for easiness weeks in advance. Many forget sometimes to make it in hurry, so after pouring the freshly made syrup into a storage container, pop it in the freezer, unlidded for about ½ an hour to cool.
- Sparkling water and Sprite also go perfectly with this mojito.
