How to Make Mojito Cuban Mint And Rum Cocktail

  1. Fill a highball glass 1/3 full with crushed ice.
  2. Add 10-12 fresh mint leaves and 2 tablespoons of sugar syrup (recipe below) to the glass.
  3. Gently muddle the mint leaves and sugar syrup together for about 20 seconds using a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon. Don't over-muddle, or the mint will become bitter.

  5. Top with 4 ounces of club soda.
  6. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge.

  11. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
  12. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Let cool completely before using.
