Instructions
How To Make a Lemon Mojito Mocktail
- Slice lemons into thin wheels, removing and discarding the ends.
- In a sturdy, tall glass or cocktail shaker, muddle the lemon slices until juice is released.
- Add mint and muddle the mint leaves with the lemon juice. Crush the mint gently until you smell the mint aroma.
- Add agave syrup and stir.
- Add sparkling water and stir.
- Stir gently to combine. Strain into two glasses filled with ice.
- Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the agave to taste, depending on how sweet you like your drink
- Fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor—avoid bottled if possible
- Agave blends easily into cold drinks, so there’s no need to make simple syrup
- Gently muddle the mint to release flavor without making it bitter
- Strain for a smoother drink, or leave unstrained for a fresh, mint-forward look
- Add sparkling water just before serving to keep the drink bubbly
- Serve over ice for a light, refreshing mocktail
Muddled vs. Juiced Lemon (Flavor Tip)
Muddling fresh lemon slices yields a softer, more rounded citrus flavor than using straight lemon juice. It adds a slightly mellow, infused quality that pairs beautifully with mint. If you prefer a brighter, more tangy drink, you can use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead. My husband and I taste-tested this recipe twice, and both agreed that muddled lemon slices were preferred.
