    Expert Answer
    I would definitely recommend a light white rum for a mojito. A mojito is so simple and fresh with the lime and the mint, and a crisp white rum will highlight that. On the other hand, a darker or spiced rum might overpower those flavors.

  • Question
    Can I make a perfect mojito without rum or alcohol?
    Community Answer
    You can, but you need a hard, strong flavor in the mojito to give the lime and peppermint something to work off.

    Why do I need to use rum?
    Community Answer
    The strong flavor in rum will help balance the minty and sour flavors from the mint leaves and the lime.

  • Question
    Why no mention of sugar cane in these recipes?
    Community Answer
    You can add sugar cane juice instead of sugar, this will have the same effect as syrup, and the cane will give it a more consistently sweet flavor.
