1
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves with the lime juice to release the mint oils and flavors. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Rum and Simple Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup into the glass with muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with crushed ice or ice cubes, leaving enough space for the club soda.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. Give it a gentle stir to mix the ingredients without disturbing the mint too much.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
