1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their essential oils and flavor.
2
Add Rum and Syrup
Pour the white rum and simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will chill the cocktail and keep it refreshing.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice to fill the glass. This adds a refreshing fizziness to the drink.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
