1
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 and aroma. Do not shred the leaves; just press enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the mint is well distributed in the mixture.
3
Add Rum
Measure and add the white rum to the glass. Stir the mixture again to blend the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it's nearly full. This will help keep the cocktail chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice to fill the glass. This will give the cocktail its refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer, and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
