1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them into small pieces.
2
Add the Rum and Simple Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
5
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an appealing presentation.
6
Serve
Give the drink a gentle stir to combine, then serve immediately with a straw or a cocktail stirrer.
