Mojito Preparation
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils.
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice and stir gently to combine with the muddled mint and simple syrup.
Add Rum and Ice
Add the white rum to the mixture, then fill the glass with ice cubes until it's nearly full.
Top with Soda
Pour soda water over the ice and mixture until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
