1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them into small pieces.
2
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour in the fresh lime juice and white rum over the muddled mint mixture. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass or shaker with ice cubes to the top.
4
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. Stir gently to mix without losing the carbonation.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your Mojito with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
