1

Gather the Ingredients

First things first, gather all the necessary ingredients for your refreshing Mojito mocktail. You will need: fresh mint leaves, lime juice, simple syrup, soda water, ice cubes, and a fancy glass to serve it in.

2

Muddle the Mint

Take a few mint leaves and place them in your fancy glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the leaves. Release the fresh aroma and flavor of the mint by gently pressing and twisting the leaves against the bottom of the glass. Remember, the mint should be bruised, not traumatized!

3

Add Lime Juice and Simple Syrup

After muddling the mint, pour in some freshly squeezed lime juice and a splash of simple syrup. The lime juice will give your mocktail a tangy kick, while the simple syrup adds a touch of sweetness. Adjust the amounts according to your taste preferences.

4

Time for Soda Water

Now it's time to bring some bubbly goodness! Add soda water to your glass, filling it almost to the brim. The effervescence of the soda water will give your mocktail a refreshing and lively twist.

5

Don't Forget the Ice

To keep your Mojito mocktail cool and refreshing, add a generous amount of ice cubes to the glass. The ice will not only chill the drink but also dilute it slightly, enhancing the overall taste.

6

Mix and Garnish

Give everything in the glass a gentle stir to mix all the flavors together. To make it look extra fancy, garnish your mocktail with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime. Voila! Your refreshing Mojito mocktail is ready to be enjoyed!
