Equipment

  • Pitcher (at least 64 oz)
  • Muddler
  • Citrus juicer
  • Long spoon or cocktail stirrer
  • Measuring Cups
  • Highball glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz white rum
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice about 8–10 limes
  • ¾ cup simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 2 cups fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
  • 4 cups club soda or sparkling water
  • Ice lots of it
  • Lime wheels for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Muddle mint leaves with the simple syrup in a large pitcher using 8–10 gentle presses.
  • Add lime juice and white rum to the pitcher. Taste and adjust for balance.
  • Top with club soda just before serving and stir gently to preserve carbonation.
  • Fill highball glasses with crushed ice, then pour the mojito mixture about ¾ full.
  • Garnish with slapped mint sprigs and lime wheels. Serve immediately.

Notes

Prepare the pitcher up to 30 minutes in advance for the best infusion.
Do not add club soda until right before serving.
Use large ice cubes in the pitcher to minimize dilution.
Store leftovers (without soda) in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Try variations like Strawberry Mojitos, Cucumber Mint, or Jalapeño Mojitos for creative twists.
