  • Fresh Mint Leaves: 10-12

Instructions
 

  • Instructions
  • Muddle the Raspberries and Mint:
  • In a sturdy glass, add the fresh raspberries and mint leaves. Using a muddler, gently press down on the ingredients to release their juices and aromas. Be careful not to over-muddle, as you want to maintain some mint leaves' structure and flavor.
  • Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup:
  • Pour in the fresh lime juice and simple syrup. The sweetness of the syrup balances the tartness of the raspberries and lime. Give it a gentle stir to combine the flavors.
  • Mix with Rum:
  • Add the white rum to the glass and stir again to incorporate it with the muddled mixture.
  • Add Ice:
  • Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top for the club soda.
  • Top with Club Soda:
  • Slowly pour the club soda over the ice until the glass is full. This adds a refreshing fizz to the cocktail.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Garnish your Raspberry Mojito with a few whole raspberries and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
  • Variations
  • Berry Mojito: Substitute raspberries with other berries like strawberries or blackberries for a different twist.
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace the rum with extra club soda or a splash of sparkling water for a refreshing mocktail.
  • Herbal Twist: Experiment with herbs like basil or thyme in addition to or instead of mint for a unique flavor.
