Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice and Rum

    Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum into the glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. Stir gently to mix.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Garnish the Mojito

    Add a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top of the drink for garnish. This will enhance the visual appeal and aroma of the cocktail.
