How to Prepare Mojitos for 20 People

Make mojitos for a group inside of an insulated beverage container; since you’re not drinking it all at once, the insulation will help keep the drink cool for longer. Infusing the rum with mint leaves overnight intensifies the flavor of your mojitos.

2-1/2 cups mint leaves, packed
5 cups light rum
3-1/3 cups lime juice, freshly squeezed
2-1/4 cups simple syrup
10 cups (2.5 L) club soda
Ice
