1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add 10 fresh mint leaves and 1 oz of fresh lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them into small pieces.
2
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Pour 1 oz of simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Follow this with 2 oz of white rum. Stir the mixture gently to combine.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, about 1 cup worth, to chill the mixture.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour 4 oz of club soda over the ice, allowing it to mix gently with the other ingredients.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
