Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice and Rum

    Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Ice and Club Soda

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top it off with club soda. Stir gently once more to mix everything together.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish your Mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
