Tips and tricks to the best Mojito Pitcher

Prep your ingredients before mixing the pitcher. This means juicing your limes (or getting the store-bought cold pressed lime juice) and making simple syrup beforehand.
Double or triple the recipe! While this Mojito Pitcher recipe makes six drinks, you might be hosting friends who want more than one drink. If so, make a second pitcher and leave out the club soda until it’s go time. ;)
Purchase good lime juice or squeeze your own. The shelf stable bottled stuff won’t cut it for this Mojito Pitcher.
Add extra mint for garnish! Not only is it beautiful, but it adds a lovely scent as you sip!
Don’t over muddle the mint. Mint is a delicate herb, and the point of muddling is to get the leaves to release their oils, which provides flavor in the mojito. If you muddle them too much, they could become bitter.
Make the mint flavor extra strong by making mint simple syrup. To do this, follow the instructions on how to make simple syrup and throw in a bunch of mint when the sugar has dissolved. Let it steep for 30-45 minutes before straining the mint out.
