10 fresh mint leaves

3/4 cup chilled sparkling water or club soda
lime wedges, for garnish
fresh mint sprig, for garnish

Instructions

Add the mint leaves, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to a tall glass.
Gently muddle the mint 4 to 6 times, just until fragrant. Don’t crush it too hard.

Notes

For a sweeter Virgin mojito recipe, use 2 tablespoons of simple syrup. For a sharper, more citrusy drink, add an extra squeeze of lime. For a fruit version, muddle in sliced strawberries, blueberries, mango puree, or pineapple juice before adding ice.
