Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Muddle the Mint

    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to tear them too finely.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup

    Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add White Rum

    Pour the white rum into the glass, mixing it with the mint, lime, and syrup mixture.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the mixture is cold and refreshing.

  5. 5

    Top with Club Soda

    Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This will add a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge, if desired. Serve with a straw and enjoy your classic Mojito!
