I found that this recipe was a bit too strong for my taste. I would use less rum next time.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of simple syrup by half.

I'm not a big fan of sour cherries, but I really enjoyed these mojitos. The sour cherry flavor is subtle, and it's balanced out by the sweetness of the rum and lime.
