Ingredients
  

For the Mocktail
  • 1 small small lime, quartered Use fresh lime for best flavor.
  • 10 leaves mint leaves Fresh mint enhances aroma and flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice Adjust to taste; honey, agave, or simple syrup recommended.
  • 1 cup sparkling water Flavored sparkling water can be used for variety.
  • 1 ounce non-alcoholic rum (optional) Add for an extra kick if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the quartered lime and sweetener into a glass. Muddle them together for about one minute to release the juice from the lime.
  2. Clap the mint leaves in your hands a few times to enhance their aroma before adding them to the glass. Gently press them with the muddler 2 to 3 times.
  3. If desired, add non-alcoholic rum to the mixture. Top off with sparkling water and a handful of ice. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
  4. Garnish with lime slices or a sprig of fresh mint and enjoy!

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh ingredients and muddle properly to release oils and juices. This drink is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored without ice for up to 2 days in the fridge.
