Notes
- Don't overwork the mint or it could turn bitter. Just a few twist should do for muddling.
- If you don't have a muddler, a wooden spoon will take care of the job.
- When sorting through limes at the store, pick those that have some give when you press them. Hard limes are a sign that they're dried out.
- Before juicing the lime, firmly roll it under the palm of your hand on the countertop several times to release the juice.
