1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Rum and Simple Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the rim. Use a spoon to gently stir the drink, mixing the ingredients without disturbing the mint too much.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw.
