1
Prepare the Glass
Take a highball glass and add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler to gently crush the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. This will enhance the mint flavor and add sweetness to the drink.
3
Mix with Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and gently stir the mixture to combine the ingredients without breaking the mint leaves further.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, allowing the drink to chill properly.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your Mojito.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy your Mojito!
