1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to mix well.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in lightly to chill the mixture.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and mint mixture until the glass is nearly full. Give it a gentle stir to combine.

6
Garnish the Cocktail
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top for an extra touch of freshness.
