Can I use other citrus fruits for this mocktail?

Yes, while satsumas, grapefruit, and lemon are specified, you could experiment with other sweet citrus like oranges or tangerines, adjusting the maple syrup to taste.

What is the best way to muddle the mint leaves?

Place about 10 mint leaves in the bottom of your glass with a tiny drizzle of maple syrup and a splash of juice, then gently press and twist with a muddler or the back of a spoon until fragrant.

How can I make this mocktail less sweet?

You can reduce or omit the maple syrup entirely, as the satsumas and grapefruit provide natural sweetness. You can also add more sparkling water to dilute the sweetness.

Can I prepare the citrus juice ahead of time?

Yes, you can juice the satsumas, grapefruit, and lemon ahead of time and store the combined juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

What kind of sparkling water works best?

Any plain sparkling water or club soda will work well. For an extra hint of flavor, you could use a citrus-flavored sparkling water, but ensure it doesn't overpower the fresh fruit.

This mocktail is a perfect balance of sweet, from the satsuma juice, and sour from the grapefruit juice. The fresh mint crushed into it will remind you of a mojito but the citrus flavors will be a bit more nuanced and subtle.

How to Prepare Bubbly Raw Satsuma and Mint Mocktail [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Remove the peel and pulp from the citrus and juice all of it together.
In the bottom of your glass, add several mint leaves (about 10 or so), a tiny drizzle of maple syrup, and a splash of juice.
Muddle the mint until it is bruised and very fragrant.
Shake the juice really well, then pour it over the mint. Add around 3/4 cup of juice to each glass. Top the juice off with 2-4 tablespoons or so of sparkling water and ice as needed.

LOVE how quick this is and healthy too! I have featured it (the link) today on my site called "Super Quick Plant-Based Recipes" – where I feature daily recipes that take 20 min. or less to prepare (and many take only 5-10 min.). Thanks for this great idea!
