Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 81kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lemons
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cup sparkling water or any soda
- Garnish: Lemon slices and mint sprigs
Instructions
- Juice lemons into a small bowl. You can either use an electric or handheld juicer, a reamer, a stand mixer, or quarter them and squeeze the juice out by hand. Set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle the mint leaves and sugar together. This releases the mint's flavor and combines it with the sweetness of the sugar.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the cocktail shaker. Shake or stir well to dissolve the sugar and mix the flavors.
- Fill a tall glass or a mason jar with ice cubes.
- Pour the mojito mixture into the glass then top with sparkling water or soda until it reaches the rim. Stir gently. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint.
Notes
By the pitcher: Pre-assemble the muddled mint, sugar, and lemon juice and store them in a container. When it's time to serve, simply combine the lemon mixture with sparkling water and ice.
