1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press and twist the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred them excessively.
2
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients and dissolve the syrup.
3
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint, lime juice, and simple syrup mixture. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the club soda is well mixed with the other ingredients.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
