Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 10 pieces Fresh mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon Simple syrup
• 1 cup Club soda
• 2 drops Green food coloring
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 1 piece Lime wedge
• 0.25 teaspoon Edible glitter (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the lime juice, fresh mint leaves, and simple syrup.

Step 2

Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently mash the mint leaves to release their flavor without shredding them.

Step 3

If using a cocktail shaker, add the ice cubes and shake the mixture vigorously for 15 seconds. This step cools the drink and further infuses the flavors.

Step 4

If not using a shaker, you can simply stir the mixture in the glass and add the ice cubes afterward.

Step 5

Pour the club soda into the mixture. Gently stir to combine.

Step 6

Add 2 drops of green food coloring to achieve the signature lucky color. Stir lightly to distribute the color evenly.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of edible glitter on the surface of the drink for an extra magical touch.

Step 8

Serve the drink immediately in a festive glass, garnished with a lime wedge on the rim. Enjoy your Lucky Leprechaun mocktail!
