Bacardi Mojito

• 12 fresh spearmint leaves
• 1/2 lime, quartered
• 2 tablespoons simple syrup (equal amounts sugar and water heated until sugar dissolves, cooled) or 4 teaspoons sugar
• Ice
• 1-1/2 ounces light Bacardi rum
• Club soda
• Lime wedge and mint sprig, for garnish

In a tall glass, muddle or mash together the mint leaves and lime. I use the end of a wooden spoon. Add the simple syrup or sugar and fill the glass with ice. Add the rum and top with club soda, stir well.

Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.
