1
Chill and fill
Choose a highball or Collins glass. If desired, chill the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Fill the glass with fresh ice until nearly full (about 1 cup of ice).

2
Add alcohol (optional)
If making an alcoholic version, pour 1.5 fl oz gin or vodka into the ice-filled glass. If using both spirits, use a total of 1.5 fl oz combined.
3
Add bitters or syrup (optional)
If using Angostura bitters or simple syrup, add 2 dashes of bitters or 0.25 fl oz simple syrup now, depending on desired complexity and sweetness.
4
Top with Schweppes Premium
Slowly pour 8 fl oz Schweppes Premium tonic (or Schweppes Premium mixer of your choice) over the back of a spoon or down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and layering.

5
Gently stir once with a bar spoon (1–2 slow turns) to integrate the spirit and mixer without flattening the bubbles. Squeeze the lime wedge lightly over the drink to release a few drops of juice, then drop the wedge into the glass. Slap the mint sprig once between your palms to wake its aroma and place it on top as a garnish.
