Expert Tips for the Perfect Mint Mojito

• Use spearmint, not peppermint, for authentic mojito flavor.

• Gently muddle—bruising mint releases oils without bitterness.

• Always use fresh lime juice. Bottled juice dulls flavor.

• Tall glasses keep mojitos colder longer.

• Garnish with a slapped mint sprig for aroma.
