Mint

Fresh mint makes some of the most refreshing mocktails there are. Muddle a handful of leaves to release their oils and you get a cool, bright drink that pairs perfectly with lime, cucumber and watermelon. These recipes include the classic Virgin Mojito, a crisp Cucumber Mint Cooler and a juicy Watermelon Mint Cooler, all alcohol-free and ready in about five minutes. Mint grows easily in a pot or backyard garden, so you can keep a fresh supply on hand all summer. Clap the sprigs between your hands before garnishing to wake up the aroma, and top with sparkling water for extra fizz.
