Preparation Steps
- 1
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to tear them too much.

Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to combine.
- 3
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the glass and stir gently again to mix all the ingredients well.
- 4
Add Ice and Soda Water
Fill the glass with ice cubes and top it off with soda water. Stir gently to combine all the flavors without losing the carbonation.
- 5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with lime wedges and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.
