Raspberry Mojito

Step 1

Stir together water and agave nectar. See notes for sugar-free options. Stir these together until well-combined. Refrigerate to chill while you make the rest of the mojitos.

Step 2

Place the raspberries, lime juice, lime wedges, and mint in a cocktail shaker or distribute them between the two serving glasses.

Step 3

Use a cocktail muddler to gently press the mint a bit (referred to as muddling). This breaks down the mint and lime to release those flavors into the rest of the beverage. Just don't muddle too much — we don't want a bunch of tiny pieces of mint throughout the drink.

Step 4

Add some of the simple syrup and ice to the cocktail shaker and give it a good shake to chill the liquids.

Step 5

Pour the cocktail mixtures evenly into two large glasses. Fill the glasses with club soda.

Step 6

Garnish with lime slices, fresh raspberries, and sprigs of mint. Serve immediately.
