Ingredients
  

Mint Mojito Ingredients

  • 6 mint leaves
  • 0.5 ounce simple syrup (15 ml)
  • 2 ounce white rum (60 ml)
  • 1 ounce lime juice (30 ml)
  • club soda
  • ice crushed or cubed

Instructions
 

Mojito Preparation

  • Lightly muddle the mint and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker or tall pint glass. Lightly press and turn the muddler into the mixture, about 3 to 4 times. Do not bruise the leaves or vigorously muddle, or the mint will taste bitter.
  • Add the rum, lime juice, and about ½ cup of ice. Cover and briefly shake. Alternatively, stir them together to mix.
  • Strain into a tall glass filled with ice. Top with club soda. If desired, garnish with mint leaves and lime wheel or wedge.

Notes

Garnish: Mint and lime wheels or wedges. For a sweeter Mojito, add 1 ounce of simple syrup or use the same amount of rich simple syrup.
