Ingredients
Ingredients
- 10 small fresh spearmint leaves
- 1/2 medium lime (cut into 3 wedges, divided)
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener (or stevia or sugar)
- 7 ounces lemon-lime seltzer (or club soda, or sugar-free lemon-lime soda)
- 1 cup ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Muddle Mint and Lime: In a sturdy tall glass, place 10 fresh spearmint leaves and 1 lime wedge. Using a muddler, crush them gently to release the essential oils from the mint and the juice from the lime.
- Add Sweetener and Lime: Add the remaining 2 lime wedges and 1 tablespoon of monk fruit sweetener (or your choice of sweetener). Muddle again to extract more lime juice and blend the flavors, ensuring not to strain the mixture so the flavors stay robust.
- Add Ice and Soda: Fill the glass nearly to the top with ice cubes. Pour 7 ounces of lemon-lime seltzer (or club soda) over the ice, filling the glass.
- Stir and Garnish: Stir gently to combine all ingredients well. Garnish with a few fresh mint sprigs for aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately with a straw for a refreshing experience.
Notes
- Use a sturdy tall glass to allow proper muddling without spilling.
- Adjust sweetness to taste; monk fruit sweetener provides a low-calorie alternative.
- For a slightly sweeter or more citrusy taste, substitute club soda with sugar-free lemon-lime soda.
- Do not strain after muddling to retain the full flavor and texture.
- Add more mint leaves for an intensified mint flavor.
