- Muddle the mint: Combine the lime juice and mint leaves in a cocktail shaker. Sprinkle with raw sugar and use a muddler to crust the mint and release its oils.

Notes
To make simple syrup: Combine equal parts water and sugar in a jar. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring intermittently, until the sugar has dissolved. You can also do this in a saucepan set on the stove over medium heat.
Substitutions:
- Raw sugar can be substituted for granulated sugar if necessary.
- To make a basic orange mojito, use club soda in place of champagne. Adjust the simple syrup to taste.
