1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them apart too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine the ingredients and to dissolve the syrup.
3
Add White Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir again to mix all the flavors together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in well to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and mixture, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
