Mojito Preparation

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils.

    Pour in the white rum and simple syrup over the muddled mint mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes, pressing them down gently to mix with the other ingredients.

  4. 4

    Top with Club Soda

    Pour the club soda over the ice and gently stir to combine all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw.
