Mojito Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Muddle the Mint

   In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the leaves. This helps release the mint's natural oils and aroma. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.

2. 2

   Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup

   Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine these ingredients, ensuring the mint is evenly distributed.

3. 3

   Add Rum

   Add the white rum to the glass and stir the mixture once more to blend all the flavors together.

4. 4

   Fill with Ice

   Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top to add the club soda.

5. 5

   Top with Club Soda

   Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This adds a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a few extra mint leaves for decoration. Optionally, you can also add a straw.
