Alisha's Virgin Mojito

Serves: 2; 

Prep: 5min; 

Ready in: 5min 

Ingredients:

20 to 30 fresh mint leaves
2 lemons
2 tbsp sugar
400ml sprite(if using soda, double the amount of sugar)

Method:

Pluck out the mint leaves from the stem and chop them roughly ( I personally like tearing the leaves myself as they bruise better and release loads of flavour and aroma)

Slice the limes in shape of wedges (4-6 of each lime) and remove the seeds.

Put the mint leaves,  lime wedges and sugar into a bowl and bash all the ingredients until the sugar is dissolved.

Take half of the mixture in a tall serving glass and top it up with sprite or soda. Add ice cubes in it (optional) and enjoy.

Garnish with a slice of lime on the rim of the glass!

This is the perfect drink in the summer season!
