Virgin Mojito

Method

1. 1

   Muddle the mint and lime

   Place mint leaves and lime wedges in a sturdy glass. Add sugar and muddle firmly with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the mint oils and lime juice.

   
2. 2

   Fill with crushed ice

   Pack the glass generously with crushed ice, pressing it down to fill the glass.

   
3. 3

   Top with sparkling water

   Pour sparkling water over the ice slowly. Give a gentle stir from the bottom to combine without losing the fizz.

   
4. 4

   Garnish and serve

   Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wheel. Serve immediately with a wide straw.
