Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Muddle Mint and Lime
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils and aroma. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.

Add Simple Syrup
Pour the simple syrup over the muddled mint and lime. This will add sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime juice.
- 3
Add Rum
Pour 2 oz of white rum into the glass with the muddled ingredients. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
- 4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to chill the mixture.
- 5
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and the mixed ingredients. This will give the cocktail its fizzy element.
- 6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping.
