Cocktail Preparation
Prepare the Glass
Take a highball or Collins glass and fill it with ice cubes to chill it while you prepare the cocktail.
Muddle the Ingredients
In a separate mixing glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the leaves to release their essential oils, being careful not to shred them too much.
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum into the mixing glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
