1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add 10 fresh mint leaves and 2 lime wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the leaves and lime to release their juices and essential oils. Be careful not to shred the mint leaves; just press them enough to release the flavors.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in 1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice and 0.5 oz of simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

3
Add Rum
Pour 2 oz of white rum into the glass with the mint and lime mixture. Stir well to ensure the rum is mixed with the other ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, approximately 1 cup, to chill the mixture.

5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour 4 oz of club soda over the ice to fill the glass. This will add a refreshing fizz to the drink.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a sprig of mint. Optionally, add a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for extra flair. Serve immediately with a straw.
