1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils and flavor. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum into the muddled mint mixture. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the mixture and keep your cocktail refreshing.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add the fizz to your mojito.
5
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a fresh and vibrant presentation.
6
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or a stirrer. Enjoy your refreshing mojito!
