1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the fresh lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils and flavors. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
2
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Once the mint is muddled with the lime juice, add the simple syrup and the white rum to the glass or shaker. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Ice it Up
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. If you are using a shaker, strain the mixture over a glass filled with ice.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will give the mojito its refreshing fizz.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch. Serve with a straw and enjoy!
