Chef's Notes
Treat your mint like royalty, not a punching bag! Bruising the leaves too aggressively releases bitter chlorophyll that will ruin an otherwise divine cocktail.
Pro Tip
Steeping the mint in that initial half-ounce of rum extracts the essential oils far better than muddling alone ever could. Trust the process!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You muddle the mint into tiny, pulverized green confetti, skip the strainer, and end up with leaves stuck in your teeth all evening while your guests quietly judge your life choices.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the bartender for a mojito, and he spent so long muddling the mint that I aged a decade and nearly retired by the time he served me
