Hello Simon, is there a reason why this recipe doesn’t include muddling whilst most of your Mojito variation recipes do?
I’ve tried it a few times both with and without the muddle and I must say that I preferred the minty kick you get after a gentle press.

If the mint is well churned with good crushed ice (I take cubes from chest freezer and smash to make crushed ice) then I've found no need to pre-muddle the mint. Indeed, for appearance, didn't want to over smash mint.
