Notes

NOTE: Wash limes and mint leaves thoroughly. Mint can sometimes have an unattractively strong taste and is best when washed with soap.
Gin. Substitute for rum, vodka or tequila.
Fresh Watermelon Juice. Use fresh watermelon in this mojito gin recipe. Substitute for store bought watermelon juice, or your favorite fruit juice.
Limes. Muddle fresh lime wedges to create lime juice. Substitute for lemon.
Fresh Mint. Substitute for your favorite herb, like rosemary, basil or thyme.
Sugar. The preference is granulated sugar to have that infamous crunch that a traditional mojito has. Substitute for honey, agave syrup, or simple syrup.
Club Soda. Top off a mojito with a sparkling light mixer like club soda. Substitute for mineral water, flavored sparkling water, soda water, or tonic water.
