Tips for the Best Strawberry Mojito Mocktail

- SMACK the mint like it stole something. haha no really. Smacking the mint releases the natural oils/ flavor. Which will enhance the flavors in this mojito
- Layer the drinks with the ingredients. Add lime wheels to the side of the glass for an extra ummph of presentation.
