1
Muddle Ingredients
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils and aroma. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.
2
Add Sweetness
Pour in the simple syrup into the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine the syrup with the muddled ingredients.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mixture. Stir to mix all the flavors together.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them to the top for a chilled experience.
5
Top with Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice-filled glass until it reaches the rim. This will add fizz and refreshment to your cocktail.
6
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a fresh presentation.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping. Enjoy your refreshing mojito!
