Freshness is key!

Getting the freshest, best-tasting ingredients is key to the success of any recipe, especially one like the Irish Mojito Mocktail where the vibrant flavors are front and center. Here’s how you can ensure you’re picking the best:

Fresh Mint Leaves:

  • Look for Vibrancy: Choose mint leaves that are bright green and look vibrant. They should not be wilted, brown, or dry.
  • Smell: Fresh mint should have a strong, pleasant aroma. If it smells fresh, it’s likely to be fresh.
  • Storage: Once bought, wrap the mint leaves in a damp paper towel and store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

Limes:

  • Skin Texture: Look for limes that have smooth, shiny skin. They tend to be juicier than those with dull or bumpy skin.
  • Firmness: The lime should feel firm but give slightly under pressure, indicating juiciness.
  • Color: While some green variation is normal, the best limes are deep green with no yellow or brown spots.

Cucumbers:

  • Appearance: Choose cucumbers that are bright medium to dark green without any yellow spots or bruises.
  • Firmness: They should be firm all over, not just at the ends.
  • Storage: Store them in the refrigerator but away from fruits like tomatoes and bananas to avoid premature ripening.

Brown Sugar:

  • Color and Texture: Good quality brown sugar should have a rich color and be moist and soft. If it’s hard and lumpy, it’s old.
  • Storage: Keep it in an airtight container to maintain its moisture.

Sparkling Water:

  • Freshness: While sparkling water doesn’t “go bad” in the traditional sense, it can lose its fizz over time. Check the expiration date and ensure you’re using it soon after opening for the best fizz.

General Tips:

  • Seasonal Buying: Ingredients bought in season are usually fresher and tastier. Mint and cucumbers, for instance, are best in spring and summer.
  • Local Produce: If possible, buy from local farmers’ markets or produce stands. Local produce is often fresher because it hasn’t traveled long distances.
  • Organic Options: Consider organic options, especially for items like cucumbers and limes, to avoid pesticide residue and get the natural flavors.
  • Taste Testing: Whenever possible, taste the ingredients before using them in your recipe, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the source.

Calories 118 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 10-15 Fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
  • 2 Lime (one for juice and one for slices)
  • 1 Cucumber: half, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp Brown sugar (or adjust to taste)
  • 1 Cup Sparkling water
  • Crushed ice
  • Optional: a few dashes of bitters for an extra layer of flavor

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing the lime, cucumber, and mint leaves. Thinly slice the cucumber and one lime; the other lime will be juiced.
  • In a sturdy glass, combine the mint leaves, brown sugar (or your chosen sweetener), and lime juice. Gently muddle these together with a muddler or the back of a spoon until the mint leaves are slightly bruised and the aroma fills the air.
  • Add the sliced cucumber to the mix. Give it a gentle muddle to release its fresh, crisp essence into the concoction.
  • Fill the glass with crushed ice. The more, the merrier – it keeps the mocktail refreshingly cool.
  • Pour the sparkling water over the ice. Use a spoon to stir everything gently, combining the flavors while keeping the fizz alive.
  • Add a few mint leaves and a lime slice or two for garnish. If you're feeling extra festive, add a green straw or a decorative stick.

Special Tips:

‱ For the Sweet Tooth: If the mocktail isn’t sweet enough for you, add a splash of simple syrup or a bit more sugar.

‱ Fruit Twists: Experiment with adding different fruits like kiwi or green apple for a tangy twist.

‱ Herbal Notes: Aside from mint, basil can offer a surprising and delightful change.

‱ Make It Party-Ready: For larger gatherings, multiply the recipe and serve it in a large pitcher. Just add the sparkling water when you’re ready to serve to maintain the fizz.
