1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum over the muddled mint mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

3
Add Soda Water
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then top with soda water. Stir gently to mix.
4
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
