1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves using the back of a spoon or a muddler. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much; you just want to release the oils.
2
Mix the Base Ingredients
Add the white rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the muddled mint in the glass or shaker.
3
Shake It Up
If using a shaker, fill it with ice and shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. If using a glass, simply stir the mixture well to combine.
4
Strain or Pour
If you used a shaker, strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. If you used a glass, just pour the mixture over fresh ice.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the cocktail, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to combine.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your Mojito with a lime wedge and a few sprigs of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
