Method
Mojito Preparation Steps
Muddle the Mint
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their essential oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup
Pour in the fresh lime juice and the simple syrup over the muddled mint leaves. Stir gently to mix the ingredients together.
Pour in the Rum
Add the white rum to the mixture and stir well to combine all the flavors.
Top with Club Soda
Pour the club soda over the ice and the rum mixture. Stir gently to combine without disturbing the muddled mint at the bottom.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your mojito with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring stick.
