Notes
I’ve learned some tips to make this cocktail even better.
Using fresh mint is key to a vibrant flavor. Store mint in water to keep it fresh.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the sugar to taste. You can also try honey.
For a non-alcoholic version, skip the rum and add more club soda or apple juice.
Make it your own: Experiment with different garnishes or flavored rums.
