Muddle the Mint
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.

Add Rum
The rum is the base spirit of the mojito, so make sure to choose a good quality white rum.

Add Club Soda
This adds a refreshing fizz to the mojito.
