Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too much; you just want to bruise them.

Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
- 3
Add White Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass. Stir again to mix all the ingredients together.
Finishing Touch

Add Soda Water
Top off the mixture with soda water, pouring it gently to avoid losing carbonation. Stir lightly to combine without disturbing the mint too much.

Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Optionally, add ice cubes for a chilled drink. Serve immediately and enjoy!
