Notes
- It's best not to use a shaker for this cocktail. You won't want to lose the crisp carbonation of the gingerbeer.
- I like to really taste the rum, so I add two full jiggers worth of it to each drink, but if you want the rum to be less prevalent, start with one. You can always add more!
- 1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons
- Mojitos might just be my favorite cocktail! Original is always classic, but I love them with a twist, too—check out the collection of my best mojito recipes!
