Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp homemade simple syrup
- 1 lime, quartered
- 8–10 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1 cup sparkling water
- 1/2 lime, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: To each glass, squeeze the quartered lime pieces to release fresh lime juice, then add the mint leaves and homemade simple syrup.
- Muddle the ingredients: Gently muddle the lime, mint, and syrup using a muddler or the back of a spoon to combine flavors and release the mint’s aroma without tearing the leaves excessively.
- Add ice and sparkling water: Fill the glass with 1/2 cup of ice, then top off the drink with 1 cup of sparkling water to add effervescence and refreshment.
- Garnish and serve: Finish by garnishing the drink with lime slices and extra mint leaves for an appealing presentation and enhanced aroma. Serve immediately for the best taste.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor impact.
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup to taste depending on preferred sweetness.
- For a stronger mint flavor, gently slap the mint leaves prior to muddling to release their oils.
- This mocktail is best enjoyed chilled and right after preparation to keep the fizz of sparkling water.
- To make simple syrup, dissolve equal parts sugar and water over low heat, then cool before using.
