This recipe is good in that it is simple. As a bartender I am hyper-critical and I see lots of people over do it on the ingredients. Personally, I use 6 mint leaves to muddle. I think it's the minty flavor that makes this drink so unique and refreshing. If you're getting a bitter flavor, you're mashing the rind of the lime too much. You want to release the juices, but not the oil from the rind. That's where the bitterness comes from. This recipe has the perfect amount of lime if you're juicing it right:)

It was ok, I liked J Lo's mojitos better.

Not great. I've had better. I had to adjust the sugar because it seemed bitter. I wasn't impressed.

Very good, but needed a little more sugar and lime for my taste.

My husband liked it after we added more sugar but I don't like mojito's

made them all weekend, they were a big hit! nice and refreshing!!! I used amber rum instead of the white, and raw cane sugar. It was a great success!

I loved the flavors, but I have a serious sweet tooth, it just wasn't sweet enough.

I enjoyed this but everyone else pretty much didn't. I got everyone's leftovers when they couldn't stomach it anymore. Too sour. But I would make it again for me.

A refreshing Summer drink

This is a refreshing drink in the summer. I thought it was a little bitter though, so next time I'll ease off the lime.

Great Recipe this is my NEW favorite drink can't get enough of them!

pretty good... i've never had a mojito. i muddled together 1/2 lime juice and mint leaves. i also used simple syrup instead of sugar.

This is now my Mojito. You can have some too. You're welcome. Useful tip--because there should be one--this tastes best when served very cold. Lukewarm Mojito bad. Ice cold Mojito good.

Not bad. We needed to add more limejuice, but maybe our limes were just lame. Yum!

I Love these! I make them with more rum, and 4 or 5 sprigs of crushed mint.
