Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint and Lime

    In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves with the sugar, releasing the mint oils and aroma.

  2. 2

    Add Lime Juice

    Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze the lime juice into the glass, then add the lime wedges to the mixture. Muddle again gently to combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Combine with Sparkling Water

    Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour the sparkling water over the ice and mint-lime mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
