Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Glass
Start by choosing a tall glass, such as a highball or Collins glass, and fill it with ice cubes to chill.
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and simple syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
Add Lime Juice and Rum
Pour the fresh lime juice and white rum over the muddled mint mixture. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
Mix with Club Soda
Top off the mixture with club soda. Stir gently to combine without losing carbonation.
Garnish the Cocktail
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness.
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick, and enjoy your refreshing mojito!
