1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves; just press enough to get the flavor out.
2
Add Sweetness
Pour in the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir again to mix all the ingredients together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Soda Water
Pour soda water over the ice until the glass is full. Use a straw or a long spoon to stir the drink gently to mix everything together.
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!
