1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and fresh lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Pour in the simple syrup and white rum. Stir gently to combine the muddled mint and lime with the liquids.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice, preferably crushed or cubed, depending on your preference.
4
Top with Club Soda
Carefully pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add fizz to your mojito.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
