Step-by-Step Directions
Follow along through every stage of preparation and baking.
Add Mint, Lime & Sugar
Drop 10-12 fresh spearmint leaves, 4 juicy lime wedges, and raw cane sugar into a tall highball glass.
Muddle Gently
Gently press and twist with a wooden muddler for 20-30 seconds to extract aromatic citrus oils and juice without pulverizing the mint.
Pack with Crushed Ice
Fill the highball glass completely to the top with clean crushed ice. Cold temperature is essential for effervescence.
Top with Sparkling Soda & Stir
Pour chilled sparkling club soda to the brim. Use a tall bar spoon to gently lift the muddled mint and lime from the bottom.
Garnish & Enjoy
Clap a fresh mint sprig between your palms to release its fragrance, place it in the drink alongside a thin lime wheel, and serve with a straw.
