1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves, releasing their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much, just enough to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the fresh lime juice over the muddled mint leaves. The acidity will help extract even more flavor from the mint.
3
Mix in the Rum and Simple Syrup
Add the white rum and simple syrup to the glass. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving a little space at the top for the club soda.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled to the rim. This adds the refreshing fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and mint sprigs. This not only adds visual appeal but also enhances the aroma.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick. Enjoy your refreshing mojito!
