I had something similar in Cabo San Lucus and was trying to replicate. I actually like more lime zest than calls for but overall fabulous.

I cant rave enough about this recipe. By far the best cocktail I've ever had. I love that this recipe is really simple and bursting with fresh flavors. Like another reviewer I make simple syrup ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, and I cant emphasize enough that you cant skimp on the mint. You'll love it!!

Great drink with modifications as follows: Add the mint to the sugar and water, boil, then let cool. Strain out the mint leaves and continue the recipe adjusting the amount of rum as you wish. I put the liqiud in a mason jar in the fridge until I had time to make my mojito! I added the lime juice, rum, and lime zest later. This made about 3 cups. I am making half a batch (4 c. crushed ice. The rest is in the mason jar in the fridge for tomorrow.
