1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils, releasing the mint aroma. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add Rum and Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This adds the refreshing fizz characteristic of a Mojito.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a few additional mint leaves for a fresh look and aroma.
6
Serve
Serve the Mojito with a straw and a stirrer. Enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
