1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much, as you want to keep some whole leaves intact for garnish.
2
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour the fresh lime juice and white rum into the glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the soda.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Use a spoon to stir the cocktail gently, ensuring that the ingredients are well mixed.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a lime wedge and a few additional mint leaves. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
