Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 10 pieces Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Simple syrup
- 1 cup Club soda
- 2 drops Green food coloring
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 piece Lime wedge
- 0.25 teaspoon Edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the lime juice, fresh mint leaves, and simple syrup.
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently mash the mint leaves to release their flavor without shredding them.
If using a cocktail shaker, add the ice cubes and shake the mixture vigorously for 15 seconds. This step cools the drink and further infuses the flavors.
If not using a shaker, you can simply stir the mixture in the glass and add the ice cubes afterward.
Pour the club soda into the mixture. Gently stir to combine.
Add 2 drops of green food coloring to achieve the signature lucky color. Stir lightly to distribute the color evenly.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of edible glitter on the surface of the drink for an extra magical touch.
Serve the drink immediately in a festive glass, garnished with a lime wedge on the rim. Enjoy your Lucky Leprechaun mocktail!
