So, how do you choose the perfect mint for your mojito? Well, first of all, you want to make sure it's fresh - none of that wilted, sad mint for us, thank you very much! Look for leaves that are a vibrant green color and have a nice, perky texture, and don't be afraid to give them a sniff to make sure they're nice and fragrant.
And, fun fact: did you know that mint is a -hardy perennial, which means it can grow like crazy and even take over your garden if you're not careful? So, if you're feeling ambitious, you could try growing your own mint at home - just be sure to keep it under control, or you might find yourself up to your eyeballs in mojito-making material!

Didn't think so.
