Almost every year, my boss invites the entire lab for a mojito pool party. We prepare a large batch of mojitos with 2 liters of rum. It’s quite fun; we all pitch in to cut limes and make ice. This year, I made the mojitos with some incredible muddlers.
The only thing you have to remember when making this drink is to muddle very well and extensively.
