Equipment
- Mortar and pestle or wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 12 fresh mint leaves
- 2 Tablespoons superfine sugar
- 6 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices and mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker or a tall glass, muddle the mint leaves and sugar together. This will release the mint flavor and combine it with the sweetness of the sugar.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the cocktail shaker or glass. Stir or shake well to dissolve the sugar and mix the flavors.
- Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour the lemon mint mixture over the ice, dividing evenly between the two glasses.
- Top with lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Garnish the mocktail with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint and serve. Cheers!
Notes
Substitutions
- For a more classic mojito flavor, use lime juice in place of the lemon juice
- Sparkling water can be used instead of lemon-lime soda
- Flavored seltzer can also be used in place of lemon-lime soda
- Granulated sugar can take the place of the superfine sugar although superfine sugar will dissolve easier than granulated sugar
