Brazil Nut Free Classic Nojito
Fresh, bright, and completely alcohol-free, this sparkling mocktail is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel a little more special. Muddled mint and fresh lime juice come together with a quick homemade simple syrup, giving you that classic mojito flavor without a single drop of spirits. The whole thing is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind — no label-scanning required, just clean, straightforward ingredients you can feel good about. Sparkling water adds the perfect effervescent lift, keeping every sip crisp and refreshing right down to the last ice cube. Making your own simple syrup takes only a couple of minutes on the stovetop, and the payoff is a noticeably smoother, more balanced sweetness than anything from a bottle. It's an ideal choice for backyard gatherings, mocktail hours, or anyone who just wants something gorgeous in a glass without the fuss.

2 servings
For the simple syrup
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
For the drinks
- 16 fresh mint leaves, plus 2 sprigs for garnish
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 2 cups sparkling water, chilled
- 2 cups ice cubes
For serving
- 2 lime wheels or wedges (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes — the syrup should be clear and slightly thickened.

Divide the mint leaves evenly between two tall glasses. Add half the lime juice and half the simple syrup to each glass. Muddle firmly with a cocktail muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon, pressing and twisting 8–10 times until the mint is bruised and fragrant and the liquid turns pale green.
