Happy Hour

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint

    Gently bruise the fresh mint leaves by pressing them with the back of a spoon or your fingers to release their oils. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base

    In a large glass or cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice and simple syrup. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Add Seltzer

    Slowly pour in the seltzer water to the lime juice mixture, being careful to avoid too much fizzing. Stir gently to mix.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Mint

    Add the bruised mint leaves to the glass and stir gently again to infuse the mint flavor into the drink.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fill a serving glass with ice cubes, pour the prepared seltzer mixture over the ice, and garnish with lime wedges. Serve immediately.
