1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves and fresh lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. This will sweeten the drink and balance the acidity of the lime juice.
3
Add Rum and Mix
Add the white rum to the mixture in the glass. Using a spoon or a straw, gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the drink to chill.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and mixture in the glass. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately with a straw.
