Start by washing the mint leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the lime in half. Slice one half into wedges for muddling, and slice a wheel from the other half for garnish.
In a sturdy glass or small pitcher, place the mint leaves and lime wedges. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush them together, releasing the mint oils and lime juice. Ensure not to pulverize the mint as you want to retain its bright green color and essence.
Add the honey to the muddled mixture, stirring well until the honey is fully integrated.
Fill the glass with ice cubes, ensuring there's enough space for the sparkling water.
Pour the sparkling water and filtered water over the ice and the muddled mixture, stirring gently to combine without losing the fizz.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more honey to your preference.
Finish by garnishing with the lime wheel and a fresh mint sprig.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy, refreshing alcohol-free mojito!
