Notes
Alcohol or no alcohol. You can easily make this recipe without the rum and it will still have the signature mojito flavor. The milkshake doesn't have a lot of booze in it, but if you're not a drinker, you'll still enjoy plenty of great flavor in this mojito milkshake from the fresh lime, mint leaves, and vanilla ice cream.
