What kind of mint do you use in mojitos?

Anyone know what kind of mint generally gets used in mojitos? What about Mint Juleps? The recipes generally only say "mint" but you can't just get mint...there are all different kinds.

What kind of mint do you use in mojitos?
Apparently FRESH MINTS. LMAO That appears to be the common answer. Try peppermint or spearmint. Whatever floats your boat.

Reply:it is fresh mint leaves. you can find them in a little package in the produce department at your grocery store with all the other fresh herbs





i just looked at the one in my fridge, it does not specify whether it is spearmint or peppermint. (based on the scent, i believe it is spearmint.)
Reply:fresh mint leaves, you have to break them up b4 using them...
Reply:Erin, there really is just plain "mint". I grow it in my garden like crazy. Go to the grocery store and look where they stock those little plastic containers of basil, thyme, etc. You should be able to find mint. In the produce section. Good luck.
Reply:Well the right way to make it is with mint sprigs or spearmint leaves but since you're getting so dang mad at everyone for giving you that answer, use creme de menthe.... it won't taste right and probably not good but who cares since you seem to have something against mint.





Did something happen to the spearmint that you said you were growing in your previous question???
Reply:You would need to use fresh mint leaves. You can find them at the grocery store.


Here a website that has a very easy mojito recipe and you can modify it by the amount of servings you want to make.


Have fun!!!

Reply:fresh mint leaves seems to be the popular answer, so that's what I'm going with.
Reply:Go the grocery store and the area where you get fresh herbs, not the spice section where the herbs are dried and in jars, but the section where you find the herbs with leaves on stems. Ask for mint. Just say mint. Yes you can get just mint in this section of the store. That's why every recipe asks for just mint because you can get just mint..
