Notes
* Always start with cold ingredients. Chill all the cocktail ingredients in the refrigerator prior to making the mojitos. It helps keep the drinks cooler for longer.
* Remember to not muddle the mint sprigs too far in advance because the longer they sit, the stronger they get, which can make them overpower the other flavors.
