Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 8-10 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 cup sparkling water
  • ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Muddle the Fresh Ingredients
    In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh raspberries and mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the raspberries and mint together. This helps release their flavors and oils, creating a fragrant, flavorful base for the mojito.
  • Step 2: Add Lime Juice and Agave Syrup
    Once your raspberries and mint are muddled, add 1 tablespoon of lime juice and 1-2 teaspoons of agave syrup to the glass. The lime juice will provide a tangy kick, while the agave syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
  • Step 3: Fill with Ice
    Add a generous amount of ice cubes to the glass, filling it up about halfway. The ice will chill the mixture, making it even more refreshing when you top it with sparkling water.
  • Step 4: Top with Sparkling Water
    Pour about 1/2 cup of sparkling water into the glass, filling it up. The bubbles will lift all the flavors, giving you that crisp, effervescent mojito experience.
  • Step 5: Stir and Garnish
    Stir the mixture gently to combine the raspberries, mint, lime, and agave syrup with the sparkling water. To finish off the drink, garnish with a mint sprig and a couple of fresh raspberries on top for a beautiful, colorful touch.
  • Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
    Serve your Raspberry Mint Mojito immediately, and enjoy the vibrant, refreshing flavors of this delicious mocktail!
