1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. This will create a flavorful base for your cocktail.
3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring the mixture is chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. The soda will help to lighten the drink and add a refreshing fizz.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy!
