❤️ Why You'll Love It

• No one can resist a refreshing fizzy drink.
• It's easy to make as a single mocktail, a pitcher, or a punch

This drink is so fresh and herbaceous with bright lime and mint notes. Adding some fizzy seltzer, club soda or even 7-up for more sweetness makes it a great non-alcoholic drink for any party.

📝 Ingredients

• Sugar and water are used to make mint infused simple syrup to sweeten the drink.
• For the soda water I've tried it with many kinds and I like them all. You can use something like 7-up of Sprite. Want something less sugary, try using club soda, seltzer or sparkling water.
• Fresh lime juice

🥄 Instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

• First, we'll need to make a minty simple syrup, so simple and straightforward. Just add sugar, water a squeeze of lemon and some mint leaves in a small saucepan, bring to a boil then simmer for like 15 minutes. Set aside to cool down. This simple syrup is enough to make a whole gallon of mojito. For a skinny mojito, skip this step.

1. Take half a lime and slice it, or cut it into wedges and throw them at the bottom of a glass, keeping just one slice or wedge for garnishing. Add a sprig of mint.
2. Now, with a muddler or the back of a spoon or really anything you have, bruise the lime and mint to release their oils for maximum flavor.
3. Squeeze the other half of the lime over, add simple syrup according to your taste if using. Fill the glass to the top with ice cubes. Pour about 4 oz of club soda over and stir with a straw. Garnish each cup with a lime wedge.

💡 Expert Tips

• Simple syrup can be made ahead, poured in a glass container with a tight lid, and stored in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. It can also be stored in a cool, dry place but might get moldy quickly.
• You can use club soda, seltzer, sparkling water, or any lime-flavored soda drink.
• For a low-carb version, you can use stevia or any sweetener of choice, along with a nonsweetened or stevia-sweetened carbonated drink.
• If you do not have fresh limes, you can use lemon juice.
• Variations: use any fresh or frozen fruit in the recipe. Watermelon and berries are my favorite but you can use literally anything you like.

👩‍🍳 Variations

Here are many ways to get different flavors.

• Smash some fresh strawberries at the bottom of the glass to make a strawberry mojito mocktail, one of my favorite refreshing summer drinks.
• Fresh pureed watermelon chunks to make a watermelon mocktail.
• Basil, blueberry, pomegranate, grapefruit, and rhubarb. Basically use any fresh fruit.
• You can use any lemon carbonated soda for extra lemon flavor, such as 7Up and Sprite. Or try a different flavor like ginger ale.
• For a skinny zero calorie mojito, use a zero calorie carbonated soda like zevia and omit the syrup.

Get even more creative and come up with your own flavor combinations for your guests. It is super fun, easy and budget friendly recipe to add to your repertoire.
