1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the leaves to release their oils and aroma. Be careful not to shred the leaves too finely.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, allowing the mint to infuse its flavor into the lime and syrup.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum and stir again to mix everything thoroughly. This will ensure the mint and lime flavors are well distributed throughout the drink.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Carefully pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without losing the carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an added touch of flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy!
