Step 8: Add 5 fresh new mint and kumquat leaves and a kumquats wedge on top and serve it, your perfect mojito is ready to drink!

You can also use:

Golden rum, but it will give a stronger taste of rum and alcohol and maybe make the drink not so user friendly to some.

Cocktail-Guru Tip

You can also garnish with a sugar cane. If you can get one, just cut a stick and drop it in the drink
