1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add the Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. This will enhance the flavor and balance the drink.
3
Add the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Fill with Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the drink is chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a mint sprig. Stir gently before serving to mix the flavors.
