Make it a Spiced Rum Mojito
If you want a warmer profile, swap the white rum for spiced rum. You get notes of vanilla, cinnamon and caramel. It plays beautifully with the heat from jalapeño and the bright lime.

Is a mojito supposed to be sweet?
It should be balanced. Fresh lime and mint lead the drink. Sweetness supports the flavor without taking over.
What's the difference between a mojito and a daiquiri?
A mojito uses rum, lime, mint and a splash of soda water. A daiquiri keeps it simple with rum, lime and simple syrup. No mint. No bubbles.
