Bruschetta

House Red Wine

In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and fresh lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the glass to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

Muddle the Mint

Pour in the simple syrup to the muddled mint and lime juice mixture. This will add sweetness and enhance the flavor of the mint.

Add Sweetness

Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine the ingredients.

Add Rum

Fill the glass with ice cubes to the rim.

Add Ice

Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add fizz and dilute the drink slightly, making it refreshing.

Top with Club Soda

Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Optionally, you can give the mint sprig a gentle clap between your hands to release more of its aroma before placing it in the drink.

Garnish

Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
