1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves, releasing their oils and aroma. Be careful not to tear them too much; just bruise them lightly.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring the mint is well-distributed and infused with the lime and syrup.
3
Add the Rum
Pour the white rum into the mixture. Stir again to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will give the cocktail its refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
