1
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 aromatic oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour the fresh lime juice and white rum into the glass or shaker. Stir gently to combine the muddled mint with the liquids.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. If using a shaker, strain the mixture over ice in a separate glass.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and cocktail mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the mint is evenly distributed.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
