1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves. This releases the essential oils and aroma, enhancing the flavor of the mojito.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Mix in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to mix all the flavors together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the drink. You can use crushed ice for a different texture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. This will give the mojito its refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
