Tips for the Best Mocktail

Use fresh lemon juice: It makes the drink much brighter and more refreshing.

Don’t over-muddle the mint: Gently pressing releases flavor without making the drink bitter.

Adjust sweetness to taste: Start with 1 tsp agave and add more if desired.

Serve immediately: The sparkling water is best when freshly poured.
