Method
Mojito Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves to release their oils. Do not over-muddle, as this can make the mint taste bitter.
- 2
Add Lime Juice and Syrup
Pour in the lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
- 3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the glass or shaker. Stir again to mix the rum with the mint and lime mixture.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
- 5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without disturbing the mint leaves too much.
- 6
Garnish
Garnish with a wedge of lime and a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing look.

Serve
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
