Quick drink recipe for iftar: Mojito Mocktail

Winter has vanished completely, and the holy month of Ramadan is witnessing scorching temperatures. This Mojito Mocktail is a refreshingly light drink made with fresh mint, lime juice, sugar syrup, a splash of carbonated drink, and ice. It’s easy to make, full of flavour and will cool you down without a ton of calories. 

Ingredients (for 1 serving):

- 10 large fresh mint leaves

- 2 tbsp freshly  squeezed lime juice

- 1 tbsp of sugar mixed with 1 tbsp of water

- 1/2 cup of carbonated drink (Sprite or a similar drink)

- A lot of ice

- Slice of lemon and several mint leaves for garnish

Process: 

1) Place mint leaves at the bottom of the glass. Add lemon juice and the sugar-water mixture to it. 

2) Use the handle of a sturdy spoon to mash the leaves with the liquid 3-4 times.

3) Add the carbonated drink. Fill up the rest of the glass with ice and add garnish on top. 

This drink should be served immediately. It goes really well with fried and spicy Iftar dishes.
