Final Drink
- 1/2 cup Lime Juice freshly squeezed, sweet
- 2 cup Club Soda chilled
- 1-2 Mint Sprigs for garnish

Instructions
Make the Simple Syrup
- Combine water and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until sugar dissolves completely. Stir to ensure it's fully combined.
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.
Combine Ingredients
- Add the chilled sweet lime juice to the cooled simple syrup mixture. Stir well to combine.
Add Soda and Serve
- Just before serving, gently stir in the chilled club soda. Pour into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
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.
