Add the lime juice and Sprite to the pitcher. Stir.
Fill glasses with crushed ice (optional). Pour the virgin mojito mixture over the ice. Garnish with extra mint and lime slices. Serve immediately.
NOTES
***I didn't add sugar to this drink because I used Sprite, which is pretty sweet already. If using Ginger Ale you may want to add a few tablespoons of sugar to sweeten the drink. Taste as you go to adjust to your liking.*I only added 2 1/2 cups of Sprite because it kept each of the flavors balanced. If you'd like to make the flavors more subtle, add 3-4 cups of Sprite. This will increase the number of mojito servings as well.**feel free to add 1/4 cup of lime juice for a stronger lime flavor.
