Ingredients

6-8 fresh mint leaves
2 fresh limes
1 cup Sprite
1/2 cup crushed ice
1 tablespoon simple syrup
Lime wedges for garnish
Extra mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

Wash mint leaves and pat them dry.
Cut limes in half and squeeze to get 2 tablespoons of fresh juice.

Place mint leaves in the glass and gently muddle to release oils.
Add lime juice and simple syrup to the glass.
Fill the glass with crushed ice.

Pour Sprite slowly over the ice mixture.
Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Add a lime wedge and mint sprig as garnish.

Notes

The drink tastes best when served right away while the Sprite is still fizzy.

Store extra mint leaves wrapped in damp paper towels in the fridge.

Regular ice cubes work too, but crushed ice makes the drink extra frosty.

For a sweeter version, add an extra 1/2 tablespoon of simple syrup.

Skip the muddling step if you want a milder mint taste.

Tasting Notes

The Minty Lime Sprite Delight offers a bright, fizzy sensation from the first sip. The crisp carbonation of Sprite creates a refreshing base that tingles on the tongue.

Fresh mint leaves add a cool, garden-fresh taste that pairs perfectly with the citrus notes. The natural sweetness of the Sprite balances well with the tart lime juice.

Each sip starts with a burst of lime, followed by waves of mint and lemon-lime soda. The drink maintains its sparkle for 15-20 minutes when served over ice.

The drink’s color is a light green with tiny bubbles rising to the surface. Fresh mint leaves floating on top add visual appeal and release their aroma with each sip.

Temperature Tips:

Best served ice-cold (35-40°F)
Ice cubes keep drinks fizzy longer than crushed ice

Chill glasses before serving for optimal experience

Substitute

Many drinks can replace Sprite in this mocktail recipe. A lime-flavored sparkling water makes a great low-calorie option. Regular carbonated water works too.

7-Up gives the same taste and bubbles as Sprite. Ginger ale adds a nice spice to the drink, while still keeping the sweetness.

For a natural choice, mix lime juice with plain soda water. Then, add a touch of simple syrup to match Sprite’s sweetness level.

Non-carbonated alternatives:

Lime cordial mixed with water
Limeade
Coconut water with lime

Any clear, lemon-lime soda will work in this recipe. The key is keeping the fresh mint and lime as the main flavors.

Store-brand lemon-lime sodas cost less and taste similar. These make good budget-friendly options for large parties.

Stay away from dark sodas like cola. They change the drink’s color and overpower the mint-lime taste.
