Name: Mojito Mocktails
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: ¾ cup fresh lime juice (from 6 limes); ¾ cup simple syrup (see Tip); ½ cup packed fresh mint leaves; 2 (2-inch) strips lime zest; 4 cups ice cubes; 2 cups sparkling water; Lime slices and mint sprigs, for garnish

These minty mojito mocktails would be great at a luncheon, a brunch, a baby shower, a pool party--basically whenever you find that a cool, refreshing beverage would be welcome. Be sure to add the ice cubes and sparkling water just before serving to avoid diluting this pitcher cocktail (which is easily doubled to serve a crowd, by the way).

When I was pregnant, I drank mojito mocktails whenever I would long for an alcoholic beverage. This recipe is excellent, but substituting some ginger beer for the sparkling water enhances the flavor.
