Analyzing cooking steps...
Rolling the lime on a surface before cutting helps to release more juice and essential oils from the skin.
'Spanking' the mint (clapping it between your hands) is a great technique to release its fragrance without bruising it, which can lead to a bitter taste.
You can adjust the sweetness to your liking. If the drink is too sour, feel free to add a little more sugar.
For a creative twist, try making this cocktail with different herbs like lemon thyme or even basil.
