1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint. This adds acidity and enhances the mint flavor.
3
Mix in Simple Syrup
Add the simple syrup to the glass. This will provide sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime juice.
4
Incorporate Rum
Pour in the white rum into the glass. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for club soda.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to the drink.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with lime wedges and mint sprigs. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
