Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Sparkling water or club soda
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 wedge Lime wedge (optional, for garnish)
- 1 sprig Fresh mint sprig (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the fresh mint leaves at the bottom of a sturdy glass.
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice from one half of the lime into the glass, reserving the other half for additional slices or garnish if desired.
Add the granulated sugar to the glass.
Use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to gently press the mint leaves, lime juice, and sugar together. This releases the oils from the mint for a more aromatic flavor.
Fill the glass about halfway with ice cubes.
Pour the sparkling water or club soda over the ice until the glass is full.
Stir the mixture gently with a spoon to combine and distribute the flavors evenly.
Optional: Garnish the drink with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Nojito!
