Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils, being careful not to shred them.

  2. 2

    Add Simple Syrup and Rum

    Pour the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime mixture. Then, add the white rum to the glass.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    Stir the mixture gently to combine the flavors, ensuring that the mint, lime, and rum are well mixed.

  4. 4

    Add Club Soda

    Fill the glass with ice cubes and top off with club soda. Stir gently to combine without disturbing the mint too much.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Optionally, you can add a straw for easy sipping.
