1
Muddle Mint Leaves
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; you want to release the flavor without creating a lot of debris.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir lightly to combine.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will help to mix the ingredients together while maintaining some fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
