1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your Mojito.
5
Garnish
Garnish your Mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation.
6
Serve
Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the ingredients, then serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
