Preparation Steps
Muddle Mint and Lime Juice
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor, mixing them with the lime juice. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Pour in the simple syrup and white rum to the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes to the top.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw or cocktail stirrer.
