Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Coconut Water Mojito

- Adjust Sweetness: Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preference. If you prefer a less sweet mojito, start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste.

- Don't Over-Muddle: Gently muddle the mint and lime to release their flavors without bruising them too much. Over-muddling can result in a bitter drink.
