1
Muddle the Basil
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh Thai basil leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the leaves to release their aromatic oils. Be careful not to tear them into small pieces.
2
Add Lime and Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled basil. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir well to ensure that all ingredients are mixed together.
4
Top with Club Soda
Carefully pour club soda into the glass to fill it up. Stir gently to combine without losing too much carbonation.

5
Add Garnish
Garnish your Thai basil mojito with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and a sprig of Thai basil for an extra touch of aroma and flavor.
6
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer, and enjoy this refreshing cocktail!
