Ingredients
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup mint leaves
- 2 lemon wedges
- 1 1/2 large strawberries (very ripe)
- 5 mint leaves

- 1 1/2 oz white or gold rum
- 2 oz seltzer
- Ice
- 1 lemon slice
- 1 whole strawberry

Instructions
- To prepare the mint-infused simple syrup: Combine water and sugar in a small pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat. Add mint leaves and allow the syrup to cool. Strain and discard the mint leaves. (Leftover simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.)
- To prepare the mojito: In a large pitcher or deep bowl, use a wooden spoon to crush and muddle lemon wedges, strawberries, and mint leaves. Add fresh lemon juice, mint simple syrup, rum, seltzer, and 1 cup of ice. Stir vigorously before pouring through a strainer into a clean pitcher.
- Divide the mojito mixture between a glass filled with crushed ice (or regular ice cubes).
- Garnish the glass with a lemon slice, a whole strawberry, and a mint sprig.
