Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Cocktail Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Glass
Select a highball glass and fill it with ice cubes to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
- 2
Muddle the Mint
In a mixing glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Avoid over-muddling, as this can make the drink bitter.
- 3
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum into the mixing glass with the muddled mint and syrup. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
- 4
Mix with Club Soda
Strain the mixture into the prepared highball glass filled with ice. Top off the drink with club soda for a refreshing fizz, pouring it gently to avoid excessive foam.
- 5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the refreshing taste!
