Instructions

  1. Fill a glass with ice. If you prefer a stronger flavor, use a smaller glass; if you like it lighter, use a tall glass.
  2. Add 1 packet of LMNT to a small splash of warm water and stir until completely dissolved — this step balances the flavor and ensures no gritty texture. Then pour in cold or sparkling wate
  3. Add cold water or sparkling water. Stir gently until fully dissolved.

Tips & Variations

  • Hydration Hack: Always dissolve your LMNT in a bit of warm water

  • Want extra fizz? Top with more sparkling water just before serving.
  • For parties, mix a pitcher with 4–6 packets of LMNT and add citrus slices for a colorful display.
  • Pair your mocktail with a warm-weather recipe like cucumber carrot salad or this bright carrot juice drink .

Substitutions

  • Prefer less salt? Split one packet between two drinks.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve over nugget ice for a fun, crunchy sip.
  • Add edible flowers for a pretty brunch mocktail.
