1.5 oz Mint + Tea Syrup

1 oz Lime Juice

4 oz Chilled Club Soda or Sparkling Water

3-4 Mint leaves (for muddling and garnish)

Ice

Muddle the Mint: Place the fresh mint leaves (reserving one sprig for garnish) at the bottom of your highball glass. Gently press on the leaves 2-3 times with a muddler to release their fragrant oils—be careful not to pulverize them, which can release bitter flavors.

Pour the Mint + Tea Syrup and Lime Juice over the muddled mint.

Stir and Chill: Add a large amount of ice to the glass, nearly filling it.

Top with Fizz: Top the drink with the Chilled Club Soda or sparkling water. Stir gently one more time to incorporate the bubbles without losing the fizz.

Garnish and Serve: Garnish with the reserved mint sprig (give it a gentle slap between your palms before placing it in the drink to release its aroma) and a lime wheel or wedge. Serve immediately.

Sweetness can be increased using more syrup.

Sweetness may be reduced using more lime juice.
