Method

Cocktail Preparation

1

Prepare the Glass

Take a highball or Collins glass and fill it with ice cubes to chill it while you prepare the cocktail.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Strain into Glass

Remove the ice from your prepared glass, then strain the mixture from the mixing glass into the chilled glass filled with fresh ice cubes.

5

Top with Club Soda

Pour the club soda over the mixture in the glass, filling it to the top. Stir gently to combine.

6

Garnish and Serve

Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
