Serving tips
- Serve immediately while the sparkling water is freshly carbonated.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less DaVinci Mint Syrup.

FAQ
What is the difference between sparkling water and soda water?
Sparkling water and soda water are both carbonated, but soda water often contains added minerals. With a Sodarizer sparkling water maker, you can create fresh carbonated water at home and use it for spritz and seltzer recipes.
Can I make this Virgin Mojito using SodaStream-style machines?
Yes. This recipe works with Sodarizer, SodaStream-style machines, or other soda makers that carbonate water.
Is this Virgin Mojito considered a seltzer or a spritz?
This drink can be considered both. It uses sparkling water like a seltzer and includes fresh citrus and syrup, making it a light spritz-style mocktail.
Can I prepare this drink ahead of time?
It is best to carbonate the water just before serving to maintain fizz, especially in warm climates like the Philippines.
Where can I buy ingredients in Manila?
Fresh mint and lime are widely available in Manila markets and groceries, while DaVinci syrups can be found in specialty stores and online.
Optional note
This recipe is designed for Sodarizer but also works with SodaStream-style machines or other soda makers. Always carbonate plain water first, then add flavors after.
