Instructions

Add the sugar and mint leaves to a pestle and mortar and muddle the mint to release their juices. If you don’t have a pestle and mortar you can use a bowl and a muddler or a wooden spoon to muddle the leaves.
Divide the lime juice, simple syrup, muddled leaves and sugar among 2 glasses, and stir.
Add the non-alcoholic rum, if you are using some, and stir.
Top with a few ice cubes and some sparkling water.
Garnish with a slice of lime or a sprig of mint and serve.

Notes

For a low-sugar virgin mojito, use sugar-free alternatives such as stevia or monk fruit.

To prevent the mint leaves from turning brown, muddle them with lime juice instead of sugar. This is a good trick if you want to do the prepping early and enjoy the mocktail later.
