How to Make Miami Mojito

**Muddle the Mint:** In a double old-fashioned glass, gently muddle 10-12 fresh mint leaves with 1 ounce of simple syrup (recipe below). Don't over-muddle; you want to release the mint's flavor, not pulverize the leaves.
**Build the Drink:** Add 2 ounces of Cuban rum, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, and a splash of club soda to the glass.
**Add Ice:** Fill the glass with ice.
**Stir Gently:** Stir the drink gently to combine all ingredients.
**Garnish & Serve:** Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately and enjoy!
**Simple Syrup:**
Combine 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar and 1 ¼ cups water in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
Remove from heat and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
