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 mint leaves to release their oils. Avoid tearing them too much.

Add Lime and Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine.

3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass or shaker and stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Add Soda Water
Fill the glass with ice and top off with soda water. Stir gently to combine.

5
Add Garnish
Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a sprig of mint for an aromatic touch.
6
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
