Classic Virgin Mojito Mocktail

Ingredients

  • 2 limes
  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup or more to taste
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 cup carbonated drink such as soda water or sparkling water
  • Extra mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Cut the limes in half and squeeze the juice into a medium-sized jug. Use a citrus reamer or juicer for maximum juice extraction.
  • Tear the fresh mint leaves into smaller pieces to release their flavor and add them to the jug.
  • Pour in the agave syrup. Stir well to ensure the lime juice, mint leaves, and syrup are combined.
  • Toss in a generous handful of ice cubes to chill the drink.
  • Slowly add the carbonated drink while stirring gently. This will mix everything without losing too much fizz.
  • Take a sip and adjust the sweetness by adding more agave syrup if needed.
  • Gently crush a few mint leaves between your fingers to release their aroma and use them as a garnish for an extra touch of freshness.
  • Pour into glasses filled with ice cubes, garnish each with a sprig of mint, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lime juice and mint leaves are essential for the best flavor.
  • Don’t Overdo the Mint: While mint is key, too much can overpower the drink. Start with 10 leaves and adjust as needed.
  • Chill Your Carbonated Drink: Use cold soda water or sparkling water to keep the drink refreshing without diluting it.
  • Serve Immediately: The fizz from the soda water is best right after mixing, so serve promptly for maximum enjoyment.
