1
Prepare the Glass
Take a sturdy glass or a highball glass and set it aside.
2
Muddle Mint Leaves
Add the fresh mint leaves to the glass. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and aroma. Be cautious not to tear the leaves too much; just enough to release the fragrance.
3
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring the mint is evenly distributed.
4
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum into the glass. Stir gently to incorporate it with the muddled mint and lime mixture.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the brim.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and mixture, filling the glass to the top. This will add a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired, and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
