1
Prepare the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their oils and aroma.
2
Add Lime and Simple Syrup
Squeeze the juice of half a lime (approximately 1 oz) into the glass over the muddled mint. Then, add the simple syrup to the glass.
3
Add Rum
Pour 2 oz of white rum into the glass with the mint, lime juice, and simple syrup.
4
Mix the Ingredients
Using a spoon or a straw, stir gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring the mint, lime, simple syrup, and rum are well mixed.
5
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
6
Top with Club Soda
Pour 4 oz of club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
7
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness.
