How to Make Perfect Mojito

  1. Gently muddle 10-12 fresh mint leaves with 2 tablespoons of simple syrup in a sturdy glass. Don't over-muddle; you want to release the mint's aroma without pulverizing the leaves.
  2. Add 2 ounces of white rum, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Stir well to combine.
  3. Fill the glass with ice. Top with 4 ounces of club soda and gently stir.
  4. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
