Cooking Tips
- Muddle longer than you think. You want those mint leaves really crushed so their oils infuse the drink.
- Customize the sweetness. If you like it less sweet, use just 1 teaspoon of agave—or go wild with a drizzle of honey or monk fruit syrup.
- Make it fancy. Add a splash of coconut water or float some frozen berries for a fun twist.
- Batch it! Multiply the recipe by 4 or 6 and serve it in a pitcher for your next brunch or dinner party.

The Wellness Boost
This little mocktail might seem like it’s just here for fun, but the ingredients are doing real work behind the scenes:
- Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which supports skin health and collagen production. It also aids digestion and gives your liver a little love.
- Mint isn’t just a garnish—it can soothe digestion, reduce bloating, and even help calm the nervous system. Mint has also been shown to improve cognitive function, which is a big win for midlife brain health.
- Sparkling water keeps you hydrated while giving that celebratory, bubbly feeling. (Hydration = energy, mood support, and fewer fine lines. Yes, please.)
So basically… you’re sipping a beauty tonic disguised as a cocktail.
