1

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start mixing, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. You'll need white rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, mint leaves, cotton candy, club soda, crushed ice, and extra mint leaves for garnish.

2

Muddle the Mint

In a tall glass, add a handful of mint leaves (about 8-10 leaves) and gently muddle them to release their fragrant oils. Be careful not to crush the leaves too hard, as it can result in a bitter taste.

3

Add the Lime Juice and Simple Syrup

Pour 1 ounce of fresh lime juice and 1 ounce of simple syrup into the glass with the muddled mint leaves. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less simple syrup.

4

Mix in the Rum and Club Soda

Add 2 ounces of white rum and a splash of club soda to the glass. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without bruising the mint leaves.

5

Add the Crushed Ice

Fill the glass with crushed ice until it reaches the top. This will not only keep your drink refreshing but also dilute it slightly for a smoother taste. Feel free to adjust the amount of ice to your liking.

6

Garnish with Cotton Candy and Mint Leaves

Grab a small tuft of cotton candy and place it on top of the ice in the glass. As you sip the mojito, the cotton candy will dissolve, adding a touch of sweetness. For an extra fancy presentation, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint leaves.
