Mojito Base (per 1 cocktail)
Garnish & Optional Add-ins
Method
Prepare the Glass & Mint
Chill glass (optional)
If preferred, place a highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare ingredients; discard ice water before building the cocktail.
Place 8 fresh mint leaves and the lime wedge into a sturdy mixing glass or the chilled serving glass. Reserve one sprig of mint and one lime wheel for garnish.
Add 0.75 oz simple syrup to the mint and lime. Using a muddler, gently press and twist 6–8 times — just enough to release the mint oils and juice from the lime but not so much as to shred the mint (avoid over-muddling to reduce bitterness).
Build the Cocktail
Add 2 oz white rum to the mixing glass (or directly to the serving glass if you muddled there). If using a flavored syrup, add 0.5 oz now.
Fill the glass about three-quarters full with crushed ice (approximately 1 cup).
Pour in 0.75 oz fresh lime juice.
Top gently with about 2 oz club soda.
Use a long bar spoon to fold the ingredients together with 6–8 gentle strokes — lift the mint from the bottom so the flavor distributes without bruising.
Finish & Serve
If desired, add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top for aromatic depth.
Add a sprig of mint (slap it lightly between your palms to release aroma) and a lime wheel as garnish. Optionally, run a lime wedge around the rim before placing the garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw and an extra napkin; enjoy chilled.
