Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Lemon Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Juice the Lemons

    While the syrup is cooling, cut the fresh lemons in half and juice them until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lemon syrup, fresh lemon juice, and fresh mint leaves. Muddle the mint leaves gently with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their flavor.

  4. 4

    Add Club Soda

    Slowly pour in the club soda to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose the carbonation.

  5. 5

    Serve the Drink

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemon-mint mixture over the ice. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint.
