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.
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.
Add 0.5 ounce (15 ml) simple syrup (or dissolved sugar) to the glass. Fill the glass with 1 serving of ice.
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.
Garnish with 1 lemon wheel and 1 fresh mint sprig, if desired. Serve immediately.
