1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the mint leaves to release their 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 provide sweetness to the cocktail.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without losing the mint aroma.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it's nearly full.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. This will help to create a refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
