1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils and aroma. Be careful not to shred the leaves.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir lightly to combine the ingredients.
3
Add White Rum
Measure and pour the white rum into the glass. Stir again to mix the rum with the mint-lime mixture.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them gently to keep the mixture cool.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to combine without disturbing the mint too much.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
