Serves 4

Ingredients

• 16 large fresh mint leaves, plus 4 sprigs to serve
• 2 limes, washed and cut into small chunks
• 4 tsp artificial sweetener, (add more if desired)
• 750 ml sparkling water
• 12 ice cubes
• 1 lime, sliced or cut into wedges, to serve

Method

1. Divide the mint leaves and lime chunks between four individual glasses, giving each chunk a squeeze as you add it.
2. Add the sweetener and squash together with the handle of a wooden spoon to bring out the juice and flavours.
3. Add the ice cubes to each glass, top up with sparkling water, stir and serve with a sprig of mint, a couple of pieces of lime and a straw.

Chefs Tips

• You could use oranges, or try lemons instead.
• Virgin mojito is also ideal served from a big jug.
