Instructions
Directions
- 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.
- 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!
Notes
- If you prefer to make your mojito in a cocktail shaker, this recipe works well with that method as well.
