1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and cut lime into wedges. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint and lime to release the juices and essential oils. Be careful not to tear the mint leaves too much.
2
Add Simple Syrup
Pour in the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime. This will add sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass. This is the spirit base of your Mojito.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, almost to the top, to chill the cocktail.
5
Top with Club Soda
Gently pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the rim. This will give your Mojito its refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Stir the cocktail gently to combine all the ingredients. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge, then serve immediately with a straw.
