Muddle the Mint

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils without tearing them apart.

Pour in the Captain Morgan White Rum and fresh lime juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

3

Add Soda and Ice

Fill the glass with ice cubes and top with soda water. Stir gently to mix everything together.

4

Garnish and Serve

Garnish your mojito with fresh lime wedges and a few additional mint leaves. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
