Preparation Steps
Muddle the Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and freshly squeezed lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils, being careful not to shred them.
Add Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint and lime. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Add Rum
Pour the white rum over the muddled mint, lime, and simple syrup mixture. Stir well to incorporate the rum with the other ingredients.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top, ensuring that the mixture is well chilled.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
