Frequently Asked Questions about Mocktails

What is a Muddler?

Isn’t Muddle a great word? To muddle is to crush to release flavors and oils from fresh herbs and spices. We love this durable Muddler from OXO.

What is a traditional Mojito?

According to Wikipedia: Mojito, Spanish: [moˈxito]) is a traditional Cuban punch. The cocktail often consists of five ingredients: white rum sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint.
