Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
Main Ingredients

- 2 limes
- 1 large handful fresh mint
- Ice (lots of ice)

How to Make Sprite Mojito
1. Prepare the Limes
First, wash the limes very well since they will go directly into the drink.
Next, slice the limes into wedges or thin rounds.
2. Muddle the Lime
Add the lime slices to a large pitcher.
Then gently press them using a muddler or spoon to release the juice and oils from the peel.
3. Prepare the Mint
Next, lightly clap the mint between your hands before adding it to the pitcher.
This helps release the natural mint oils and makes the aroma much stronger.
After that, gently place the mint into the pitcher.
Do not mash or over-muddle the mint, otherwise the drink can become bitter.
4. Add the Ice
Then fill the pitcher almost completely with ice.
For the best café-style presentation, use:
- crushed ice
or - nugget ice
This makes the drink look extra refreshing and keeps it very cold.
6. Garnish and Serve
Finally, serve immediately in tall clear glasses with:
- extra lime slices
- fresh mint
- lots of ice
- metallic straws
For an even prettier presentation, you can also add:
- frozen strawberries
- strawberry syrup
- sugar rim
- fruit slices around the glass
For a beautiful presentation, dip the rim of the glass into corn syrup first, then coat it in sugar for a sparkling decorative finish.
Tips for the BEST Mojito
- Use very cold Sprite
- Chill the glasses beforehand
- Crushed ice creates the best café-style look
- Clear glasses make the lime and mint visible
- Frozen fruit keeps the drink cold without watering it down
- Fresh mint works much better than dried mint
