2 oz White rum
Splash Soda water
Crushed ice
Mint sprig for garnish
Lime wheel for garnish

Instructions

Muddle Mint and Lime: In your highball glass, gently muddle 8-10 fresh mint leaves with ½ lime cut into wedges. This releases the mint's aromatic oils and combines it with the zesty lime goodness.
Add Simple Syrup: Pour in 2 tablespoons of simple syrup. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
Crushed Ice: Pack the glass with crushed ice, filling it about two-thirds full.
Pour Rum and Lime Juice: Pour in 2 ounces of white rum and the juice of another ½ lime. The rum's warmth and the lime's tang will embrace your senses.
Top with Soda Water: Finish off your Mojito with a splash of soda water, adding effervescence and a touch of lightness.
Gentle Stirring: Give your Mojito a gentle stir with a long cocktail spoon. This helps marry the flavors without overwhelming the delicate mint leaves.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel for that extra touch of elegance. Now, raise your glass and savor the enchanting blend of flavors.
