A quick drink with no complicated equipment, simple and fast to make.

By:

Ingredients
  • 12 cl (about ½ cup) fresh lime juice or 1 very juicy lime
  • 4 cl (about 2–3 tbsp) simple syrup
  • 12 fresh mint leaves
  • Sparkling water
  • 6–8 ice cubes or crushed ice
Directions
  • Step 1 In two large glasses, pour in the lime juice and simple syrup. Lightly clap the mint leaves in your hand to release their aroma (like clapping with the mint in between!) before adding them to each glass. Fill the glasses with ice, then top with sparkling water.
  • Step 2 Gently stir from bottom to top using a straw or a long spoon. It’s ready to serve!

Good to know!

Garnish with a mint leaf and/or a lime slice. Avoid crushing (muddling) the mint—it can release bitterness and break the leaves into small pieces, which isn’t pleasant to drink.
