Method
Preparation
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves along with the simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Do not shred the leaves.
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum into the glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, ensuring that the mixture is cold and refreshing.
Garnishing
Garnish the Mojito
Add a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint on top for garnish. This will add a visual appeal and extra aroma.
