1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and the simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much as you just want to release the flavor.
2
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum over the muddled mint and simple syrup mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top if using a glass to avoid overflow.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full. This adds a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.
5
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. You can also add a straw for easier sipping.
6
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
