- 1/2 cup Lime Juice freshly squeezed, sweet
- 2 cup Club Soda chilled

Infuse the Mint and Chili
- Add the chopped green chili and mint leaves to the simple syrup. Stir gently, cover the bowl, and let it steep for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Strain and Cool
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a separate bowl or pitcher. Let it cool completely in the refrigerator.

Add Soda and Serve

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Chili and Sweet Lime Mojito:
- For a milder chili flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the green chili before chopping.
- Adjust the amount of green chili to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste if desired.
- Muddle the mint leaves gently before adding them to the simple syrup to release their full flavor and aroma.
- For a beautiful presentation, use high-quality ice cubes; large, clear cubes melt more slowly than smaller ones, keeping the drink colder for longer.
