Ingredients

This is a super refreshing drink and the kids will love it too. I pop my bottle of sparkling water in the freezer until it is super cold and starting to ice so it will still be chilled if you are packing up a picnic and heading out for the day.

  • 1 large bottle sparkling water
  • Lime cordial
  • 2-3 limes for squeezing
  • 1 for garnish
  • Large bunch of fresh mint leaves
  • Ice cubes

Method

  1. In a large jug pop in some ice, a handful of mint leaves, the juice of 2 limes, 100mls of lime cordial, then pour in the sparkling water
  2. Slice up the other lime and pop it into the jug also
  3. Give it a good stir to incorporate all the flavours and serve. Summer perfect refreshment
  4. and for the grown ups you can add a tipple of rum for a mojito vibe
