Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle Mint and Lime Juice
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and pour the lime juice over them. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

Add Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime juice. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

Add Rum and Ice
Add the white rum to the mixture. Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and rum mixture, filling the glass. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without disturbing the mint leaves too much.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer.
