Ingredients

1 cup fresh lemon juice squeezed from about 4-5 lemons
1 cup fresh mint leaves tightly packed
2 tablespoons raw agave syrup adjust sweetness to taste
4 cups sparkling water chilled
1/2 teaspoon sea salt to enhance flavor
1 cup cucumber slices fresh for garnish
1 cup ice cubes for serving
1 lemon lemon slices for garnish and extra flavor
1 sprig mint sprig for garnish

Instructions

Begin by juicing the lemons to obtain 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp for a smoother drink.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, tightly packed mint leaves, and raw agave syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves, releasing their essential oils.
Add the chilled sparkling water to the mixture, stirring gently to combine. Ensure not to lose the carbonation by stirring too vigorously.
Taste the mocktail and adjust sweetness with additional agave syrup if desired, and add the sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Prepare serving glasses by adding a few ice cubes to each glass. Pour the lemon mint mixture over the ice.
Garnish each glass with cucumber slices, lemon slices, and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing detox benefits of your Lemon Mint Mocktail!

Notes

Tip 1: For an extra cooling effect, refrigerate the mint leaves for 30 minutes before use.
Tip 2: This mocktail can be made ahead of time; just combine the base and add sparkling water right before serving.
Variation: Add a splash of coconut water for a tropical twist.
