1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, place the fresh mint leaves and add the lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass. This releases the mint oils and enhances the cocktail's flavor.
2
Add Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup into the glass over the muddled mint and lime juice. This adds sweetness to the cocktail.
3
Add Rum and Ice
Pour the white rum into the glass, then fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice to fill the glass. This will create a refreshing fizz in your mojito.
5
Garnish and Serve
Stir gently to combine all the ingredients. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Enjoy your classic mojito!
