Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves apart too much.

Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine.
- 3
Add Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir again to blend all the flavors.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, enough to fill it to the top.
- 5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. Stir gently to combine everything without disturbing the mint leaves too much.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing cocktail!
