Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup

    Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Rum and Ice

    Pour the white rum into the glass or shaker. Fill the glass with ice cubes, or if using a shaker, add ice and shake for about 10 seconds.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    If using a shaker, strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice. Then top off with club soda. If mixing directly in the glass, simply add club soda over the ice and stir gently.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Garnish the Cocktail

    Add a sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish. This adds visual appeal and enhances the aroma when sipping.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing Mojito!
