1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint to release its oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the glass over the muddled mint. You can also drop the squeezed half into the glass for added flavor.
3
Mix in Simple Syrup
Pour in the simple syrup over the mint and lime juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
4
Add Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently again to combine all ingredients.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix.

7
Garnish the Drink
Add a sprig of mint and a wedge of lime on the rim of the glass for garnish. This will enhance the visual appeal and aroma of your Mojito.
