Ingredients

• 2 whole lime
• 0.5 cup mint
• 2 tbsp cane sugar
• 1.5 cup sparkling water
• 2 cups ice

Cooking instructions

1. Cut the limes into wedges and add them to a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker along with the sugar and mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to firmly press and twist the ingredients, releasing the lime juice and the essential oils from the mint.
2. Divide the muddled mixture between two serving glasses filled halfway with crushed ice.
3. Top each glass with sparkling water and stir gently with a long spoon to combine the ingredients throughout the drink.
4. Add more crushed ice to fill the glasses and serve immediately.
