Raspberry Mojito Mocktail (Non-Alcoholic)

🍓 Raspberry Mojito Mocktail (Non-Alcoholic)

🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2):

• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

• 1 lime, thinly sliced

• 10–12 fresh mint leaves

• 2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste)

• Juice of 1/2 lime

• 1.5 cups sparkling water (or club soda)

• Ice cubes

• Optional garnish: extra mint, lime wedges, raspberries

🥄 Instructions:

1. Muddle the Base:

   • In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add mint leaves, raspberries, lime slices, and sugar.

   • Gently muddle (press) them with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the flavors. Don’t crush too much—just enough to mix juice and oils.

2. Add Lime Juice:

   • Pour in the juice of half a lime. Stir gently.

3. Assemble the Drink:

   • Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.

   • Pour the muddled mixture (with solids) into the glass.

4. Top with Fizz:

   • Slowly pour sparkling water or club soda over the mixture until the glass is full.

   • Stir lightly.

5. Garnish & Serve:

   • Add extra raspberries, a sprig of mint, and a lime wedge on top.

   • Serve immediately with a straw!

🌟 Tips:

• Want it sweeter? Add simple syrup instead of granulated sugar.

• For a fruity twist, add a splash of cranberry or pomegranate juice.

• Make it a party drink by multiplying the quantities and serving it in a large pitcher.
