# Steps:
01 -
In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves with lime juice and simple syrup. Be gentle - you want to release the oils without shredding the leaves into tiny pieces!
02 -
Add the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest if you're using it to the shaker, along with a handful of ice cubes. This creates that bright, lemony flavor that mimics limoncello!
03 -
Shake everything well for 15-20 seconds until it's nice and chilled. You want all those flavors to meld together beautifully.
04 -
Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with fresh ice cubes. This removes any mint pieces while keeping all that amazing flavor.
05 -
Top off with club soda or sparkling water, leaving a little space at the top. The bubbles make it feel so refreshing and festive!
06 -
Give it a gentle stir to combine, then garnish with lime slices and a fresh mint sprig. Maybe add a lemon slice too for that extra pop of color. Sip and feel instantly refreshed!
