1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
2
Add the Sweetness
Pour in the simple syrup and the white rum over the muddled mint and lime juice mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
3
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the ice is packed well.
4
Top with Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will give your mojito its refreshing fizz.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping.
