Mint Lemon Fizz
A bright and invigorating non-alcoholic drink, the Mint Lemon Fizz combines the zesty punch of fresh lemon with the cool, aromatic essence of mint, topped with sparkling water for a delightful bubbly finish. It's a supremely refreshing choice for any time of day.
Muddle mint and lemon juice
In a sturdy glass, gently muddle 6-8 fresh mint leaves with 0.75 ounce (22 ml) fresh lemon juice. Muddle just enough to bruise the leaves and release their aroma, without tearing them excessively.
💡 Tips:
- •Over-muddling can make mint bitter. Gentle pressing and twisting is sufficient.
Add sweetener and ice
Add 0.5 ounce (15 ml) simple syrup (or dissolved sugar) to the glass. Fill the glass with 1 serving of ice.
💡 Tips:
- •Adjust the amount of simple syrup or sugar to your preferred level of sweetness and the tartness of the lemon.
Top with sparkling water
Pour 0.75 cup (180 ml) chilled sparkling water or club soda over the ice and lemon-mint mixture. Stir gently once or twice to combine.
💡 Tips:
- •Add the sparkling water slowly and stir minimally to preserve the carbonation.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with 1 lemon wheel and 1 fresh mint sprig, if desired. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
- •Serve immediately to ensure the drink is at its most effervescent and cold.
- 💡For an extra fruity twist, muddle a few fresh berries (like raspberries or blueberries) along with the mint and lemon.
- 💡Use flavored sparkling water (e.g., lime or lemon-flavored) for an additional layer of taste.
- 💡To make a larger batch, prepare the lemon-mint-sweetener base in a pitcher and add sparkling water to individual glasses just before serving.
- 💡Consider using a lemon-lime soda instead of sparkling water and simple syrup for a sweeter, quicker version.
