Cocktail Ingredients
Method
Preparation
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 much, as you want to preserve the flavor without bitterness.
Add Lime and Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled mint. This will enhance the mint flavor and add sweetness to the cocktail. Stir gently to combine.
Incorporate the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture. Stir well to ensure that all ingredients are well combined.
Prepare the Glass
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. You can use crushed ice or whole ice cubes, depending on your preference.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge for an extra touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
