Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, pour 45 ml of fresh lime juice alongside 15 ml of simple syrup. Stir gently using a bar spoon or a straw for about 15 seconds.
Add 10 fresh mint leaves to your lime and syrup mixture. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press and twist the leaves for about 10-15 seconds.
Next, fill the glass to the brim with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Slowly pour 240 ml of sparkling water over the ice and muddled mint mixture.
Using your bar spoon or straw, carefully stir the drink for about 5-10 seconds.
To finish, garnish your mocktail with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.
Notes
Store any leftover drink in an airtight container for up to 1 day. The mint may lose its vibrancy and flavor over time, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
