1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; just bruise them.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir gently to mix the flavors together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing the fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
