Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glasses

    Start by rimming your glasses with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass and then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the Sprite, lime juice, and tequila (if using). Stir gently to mix the ingredients without losing the carbonation.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Add Flavorings

    In each prepared glass, add a few mint leaves and jalapeño slices. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint and jalapeño to release their flavors.

  2. 4

    Pour the Mixture

    Pour the mixed Sprite and lime juice mixture over the muddled mint and jalapeño in each glass, filling them up to the rim.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Garnish the Drink

    Add a lime wedge to each glass for garnish. Optionally, you can add a few more mint leaves on top for extra freshness.
