Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves with the lime juice to release the mint oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Sugar and Rum

    Add the simple syrup and white rum to the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some room at the top for the club soda.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass to the top. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the fizz.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Add Garnish

    Garnish the mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch. Optionally, you can add a straw for easy sipping.
