1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and the fresh lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils and flavors. Be careful not to shred the leaves.
2
Add Simple Syrup
Pour in the simple syrup into the muddled mint and lime mixture. This will add sweetness to the cocktail.
3
Add Rum
Pour in the white rum into the glass with the muddled ingredients. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in well to keep the drink chilled.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour club soda over the ice until the glass is filled. This will add a refreshing fizz to your mojito.
6
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for a visually appealing presentation.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
