1
Muddle the 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 oils, and mixing them with the lime juice. Do this for about 10-15 seconds.
2
Add the Rum and Simple Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup into the muddled mint and lime mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, almost to the top. This will help chill the cocktail and blend the flavors together.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. This will add fizz and balance the sweetness of the cocktail.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Optionally, you can stir gently again before serving. Enjoy your refreshing mojito!
