1
Muddle Mint and Lime Juice
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Pour the lime juice over the mint. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils, being careful not to shred them too much. This will enhance the flavor of the cocktail.
2
Add Simple Syrup and Rum
Pour in the simple syrup and the white rum into the glass with the muddled mint and lime juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. This will help chill the cocktail as you prepare to add the soda.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice, filling the glass. This will give your cocktail its refreshing fizz.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a few more mint leaves on top. Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
