Ingredients
Scale
- 10 to 12 fresh mint leaves
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3/4 ounce simple syrup
- 4 to 6 ounces chilled soda water
- Cracked or cubed ice, to fill glass
- Mint sprig and lime wedge, for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle mint leaves with lime juice and simple syrup in a sturdy glass to release oils gently.
- Press lightly and rotate the muddler twice or thrice to bruise the mint without shredding it excessively.
- Fill the glass with ice until almost full.
- Top with chilled soda water, pouring gently to preserve carbonation and lift aromatics.
- Stir briefly to combine ingredients without breaking down the ice too quickly.
- Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge positioned on the glass rim.
- Serve immediately to enjoy peak effervescence.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best aroma and taste. Muddling gently prevents bitterness from the mint.
