Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 ounces White rum
- 4 ounces Club soda
- 1 cup Crushed ice
Instructions
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the mint leaves and freshly squeezed juice of one lime.
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the mint and lime juice to release the mint's essential oils. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can make the mint taste bitter.
Add the maple syrup and white rum to the glass or shaker, then give it a quick stir to combine.
Fill a serving glass with crushed ice, then pour the mint-lime-rum mixture over the ice.
Top the drink with club soda, and stir gently to mix while preserving the bubbles.
Garnish with extra mint leaves or a lime wedge, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Canadian Mojito!
