Mojito

Name: Mojito
Ingredients: 2 oz white rum; 1 oz fresh lime juice; 3/4 oz simple syrup; 8 to 10 mint leaves; 2 oz club soda

Slap the mint sprig between your palms before garnishing so the aroma rises with each sip.

Method

Gently press the mint with the syrup and lime juice in a tall glass; the goal is to release oils, not shred the leaves.
Add rum and fill with crushed ice.
Stir, top with club soda and add a little more ice.
