Just don’t include the club soda “until pouring into individual glasses to avoid flatness,” Thompson said.The bartenders we chatted with all had the same thing to say: The biggest mistakes are mint-related.
The best way to avoid a clogged straw is to double strain the drink. “I believe the most important step, forgotten by many home bartenders, is double straining your cocktail before topping with soda,” Thompson said. For her, it goes beyond the straw. “Avoid catching herbs and sitting through dinner with something green stuck in your teeth!”
Many home bartenders think muddling their mint to the max is the way to go, but Thompson said to fight the urge. “This creates a bitter taste and can kill the fresh minty flavors you look for in a mojito,” she said.Once you’ve mastered the basic mojito, you can have some fun with it. The easiest way to do this is with flavored rum.
