Ingredients

Scale

For the Mojito Mocktail

2 limes
10 fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons agave syrup
Ice cubes (as needed)
1 cup carbonated drink (such as soda water or sparkling water)

For Garnish

Mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

Extract Lime Juice: Cut the limes in half and squeeze all the juice into a jug to capture fresh citrus flavor as the base of your mocktail.
Add Mint Leaves: Tear the fresh mint leaves into smaller pieces and add them into the jug with the lime juice to release their aromatic oils.
Mix with Agave Syrup: Pour in the agave syrup and stir well to combine the sweetness evenly with the lime and mint mixture.
Add Ice Cubes: Add a handful of ice cubes to the jug to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
Incorporate Carbonated Drink: Slowly pour the carbonated drink (soda or sparkling water) into the jug, stirring gently to mix without losing the fizz.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the drink and add more agave syrup if you prefer it sweeter, mixing well to integrate.
Prepare Garnish: Take a few mint leaves and gently crush them between your fingers to release their fragrance and flavor, then set aside for garnish.
Serve: Pour the mojito mocktail into glasses filled with additional ice cubes and garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint for an inviting presentation.

Notes

Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor and brightness.
Adjust the amount of agave syrup to suit your preferred level of sweetness.
For a stronger mint flavor, muddle the mint leaves slightly before adding them to the lime juice.
Any type of sparkling water or soda water works well; avoid flavored varieties to keep the mojito’s clean taste.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh fizz and flavors at their peak.
This mocktail is naturally gluten-free and vegan friendly.
