Ingredients
12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
1 ounce Fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Superfine sugar
Ice cubes
4 ounces Club soda or seltzer water
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Lime slices for garnish (optional)
Directions
Place the 12 mint leaves into a cocktail shaker. Add the fresh lime juice and superfine sugar, then gently muddle the mint leaves to release their aromatic oils and allow the flavors to blend. Do not over-muddle, as this can bruise the leaves and make them bitter.
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes, then pour in the club soda or seltzer water. Gently shake the mixture a few times—just enough to incorporate all ingredients without excessive agitation, which could deflate the carbonation.
Strain the drink into a medium or tall glass that has been filled with fresh ice cubes.
Garnish the top with a small sprig of fresh mint leaves and a lime slice, if desired. Serve immediately while chilled and fizzy.
Comments
Every ingredient is available at any Charlotte grocery chain, and the total cost runs about 75 cents per serving—mint and lime are staples. The stated five minutes is honest; you muddle, add ice and soda, done. This is a no-fuss drink that works year-round, reheats poorly (it's meant fresh), but makes a crisp single-serve refresh on a weeknight without complexity or a special trip.
