  3. With a cloth strainer, strain the liquid into a container that will hold 4 cups. While doing this take a spoon and press the ingredients into the strainer to extract all the flavors.
  4. Add fresh lime juice (make sure the limes feel soft and not hard when purchasing them to ensure they are nice and juicy) and enough chilled sparkling water to make 4 cups of liquid in total.
  5. Stir gently, you don’t want to break all the bubbles.

  7. Add your non-alcoholic cocktail mixture.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and/or lime or lemon slices, being sure the oil of the lime is twisted into the drink.
Recipe Notes

Serve in a low ball glass (the short yet wide varieties, this will insure the oil from the lime twist will easily land inside). You can also put them in the freezer first to frost them and make the drink extra cold and pretty.
