Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much; just press to infuse the lime juice.

  2. 2

    Add Rum and Syrup

    Pour in the white rum and simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Club Soda

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, then slowly pour the club soda over the ice. Stir gently to combine without losing carbonation.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness.
