Preparation

Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, 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. Be careful not to tear them too much; you want to release flavor without creating a mess.

Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour the lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

Incorporate the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture, stirring well to ensure that all ingredients are well combined.

Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the cocktail remains chilled.

Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, allowing it to mix with the other ingredients without stirring too vigorously.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
