A good Mojito starts with high-quality ingredients, such as freshly squeezed lime juice, fragrant mint leaves, and a smooth and flavorful rum. The proportions of these ingredients are also crucial – too much sugar can overpower the drink, while too little mint can leave it lacking in freshness. Additionally, the technique used to muddle the mint and mix the cocktail can make a significant difference in its overall flavor and presentation.
