Preparation
Prepare the Glass
Select a sturdy glass, ideally a highball glass, and set it aside.
Muddle Mint and Lime
In the prepared glass, add the fresh mint leaves and cut the lime into wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and lime wedges together. This releases the mint oils and lime juice, creating a fragrant base.
Add Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. This will add sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime.

Garnishing
Garnish the Drink
Add the mint sprigs and lime wedges as garnish for a fresh touch. You can place the mint sprigs upright in the drink and arrange the lime wedges on the rim.
Stir and Serve
Use a straw or a spoon to stir the drink gently to combine the ingredients. Serve immediately, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
