Notes

Lightly press the mint just until fragrant, since over-muddling can make the drink bitter.
Use cold sparkling water and chilled glasses to help the drink stay fizzy longer.
Start with less sugar, taste, and add more as needed. Mojitos are best lightly sweet.
Serve: Pair with savory appetizers, a fresh fruit platter, or any spicy dish.
