Citrus Mint Sparkler (Zero-Proof)

A clean, bright, non-alcoholic refresher of fresh lemon and lime with gently muddled mint, a touch of sugar syrup, and sparkling water. This SOP delivers a crisp, palate-cleansing drink with minimal sweetness.

1. Squeeze 20 ml fresh lemon juice and 15 ml fresh lime juice into the glass.
2. 20 ml lemon + 15 ml lime juice
3. Add 15 ml sugar syrup and 6-8 fresh mint leaves.
4. 15 ml sugar syrup; 6-8 mint leaves
5. Press the muddler down 3-4 times to lightly bruise the mint; never twist or shred it.
6. 3-4 gentle presses
7. Fill the glass completely to the rim with fresh ice cubes.
8. Top with chilled sparkling water and lift gently 2-3 times to combine without flattening the bubbles.
9. Garnish with a lemon and a lime wheel plus a clapped mint sprig; serve with a straw.
