3. Add simple syrup and white rum.

4. Fill glass with ice and top off with club soda.

5. Shake or stir gently.

6. TO MAKE SIMPLE SYRUP:.

7. In a small saucepan, combine 2 parts sugar to 1 part water.

8. Heat until sugar is dissolved.

9. Cool before using (this keeps in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks).

10. For a fruity twist to your mojito, use flavored rum, such as mango, banana, or pineapple.
