Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ¼ cup raspberries
  • 1 lime (cut into wedges)
  • 1 ounce simple syrup (homemade or store-bought, preferably homemade)
  • 8-10 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 ounces white rum
  • Ice
  • 4 ounces chilled club soda
  • Mint sprig (for garnish)

Instruction

  • In a highball glass with a sturdy bottom, add the raspberries, lime wedges and simple syrup. Muddle until the raspberries break down.
  • Add the mint leaves. Gently muddle a few times. Don't feel like you need to overdo it here. We just want to release the oils and fragrance.
  • Pour in the rum. Add a handful of ice. Stir a few times to chill. (See notes if you prefer to make your mojito in a cocktail shaker.)
  • Top with club soda. Gently stir to combine.
  • Place the mint sprig in the palm of your hand. Quickly clap your other hand on top to release the mint's fragrance. Add the sprig to the glass. Enjoy!
