🔍 FAQs

What kind of alcohol can I use?

You can either use white or dark rum.

Can I make this mojito in a larger glass?

Yes, but this means that you need to multiply the ingredients based on how many people you are serving.

👩🏻‍🍳 Expert tips

  • If you don’t have a muddler then you can use a spoon even though it will not be as quite efficient.
  • If possible, avoid using a wood muddler as blackberries will stain wood. You can wash it though immediately with warm soap and water to clean it.
