Ingredients
Mint Simple Syrup
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup honey
- ⅓ cup fresh mint leaves , loosely packed
Mojito Mocktail
- 2 tablespoons Mint Simple Syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ¾ cup sparkling water (lime-flavored, if desired)
- cubed ice , as needed
Instructions
Mint Simple Syrup:
- In a small saucepan, combine the water, honey, and fresh mint leaves. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute, stirring often, then turn off the heat. Let it cool for 30 minutes to infuse the mint flavor.
- Arrange a fine mesh strainer over a glass storage jar and pour the syrup through the strainer to catch the mint leaves. Press the mint leaves with the back of a spoon to extract as much mint flavor as possible. Then secure a lid on the jar and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Mojito Mocktail:
- In a 12-ounce glass add the simple syrup, lime juice, and sparkling water. Stir well to mix. Taste the drink and adjust it to your liking. You can add more simple syrup for a sweeter drink, or more lime juice for extra tart flavor. (Using lime-flavored sparkling water helps, too.)
- Fill the rest of the glass with ice and garnish with a lime wedge or fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve right away.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for 1 drink, assuming you get 1 1/4 cups of simple syrup from this recipe (you may get more!). This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Sweetener Note: You can use any other sweetener you like to make simple syrup. If you prefer to use white sugar, you'll need to double the amount called for. (1/2 cup honey = 1 cup white sugar.) Use agave nectar or maple syrup if you prefer; just keep in mind the flavor will change slightly with a swap.
- Storage: Once you've made this simple syrup, it takes 5 minutes or less to assemble a mocktail. It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks when you store it in an airtight jar.
