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.
