How to cook Lemon Mojito
Ingredients.
Start, run to the store and grab any ingredients you may be lacking. This recipe calls for the following; 4-5 oranges, 1 lemon, sugar, mint and basil leaves. I assume you already have the Rum 😉

Just using a simple, hand juicer. I stopped once it was filled it up to the top.
Chopped and pressed the Basil and Mint leafs.
Press and chop.
I suggest pressing the basil and mint before you chop. To press the leafs, take a spoon or knife and press down on the leafs on the cutting board. This releases a crazy amount of flavor and will fill your kitchen with a fresh scent. Then chop to fine pieces. Here’s another recipe with lots of fresh herbs and spice Thyme, Cinnamon & Nutmeg Sweet Potato Fries.
I used a stack full of old jello shot containers that I never used. I then poured in the the mix. I cut BBQ skewers (kabob sticks) into small sizes. I then used two per Popsicle so that it would be easier to hold once frozen. Placed in freezer for an hour or so.

There is some debate over whether or not mojitos traditionally contain lemon.

Can you use lemon instead of lime for cocktails?
Yes, you can use lemon in place of lime in cocktails. However, keep in mind that the flavor profile of lemon is different than lime, so the cocktails will taste different too. Limes are tart and acidic, while lemons are sweeter and more acidic. So if you’re looking for a cocktail that tastes like a classic lime Margarita, you may want to stick with lime. But if you’re looking for a new flavor profile, lemon can be a great option.
