1
Prepare the Glass
Take a tall glass or a mojito glass and fill it with ice cubes.
2
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint leaves to release their oils without tearing them apart.
3
Add Rum and Syrup
Pour in the white rum and simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled mint and lime.
4
Shake the Mixture
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix the ingredients well.

5
Combine with Soda
Strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass filled with ice, then top up with soda water.
6
Garnish
Garnish your mojito with fresh mint sprigs and a wedge of lime on the rim of the glass.
