- Limoncello
- Fresh mint leaves
- White rum
- Simple syrup
- Club soda
- Ice cubes
- Lime wedges
- Olive oil (for garnish)

Direction:
1. Begin by muddling 10 fresh mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. This will release the oils and flavor from the mint leaves.

3. Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
4. Prepare your serving glasses by rubbing the rim with a lime wedge and dipping it in a mixture of salt and pepper. This will add a savory and tangy flavor to your mojito.
5. Pour the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glasses, filling them about 3/4 of the way.
6. Top off each glass with club soda and stir gently.
7. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.
8. For an extra touch, drizzle a few drops of olive oil on top of each drink. This will add a unique and rich flavor to your Limoncello mojito.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing and citrusy cocktail!
