Place all ingredients except for the sparkling water and ice in your blender jar.
For Blendtec: Use Manual Speed 7 and blend for 30 seconds.
For Vitamix and other variable speed blenders: Blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth.
Add ice and sparkling water and pulse* (two seconds per pulse) five or six times to break up the ice into smaller pieces, but not fully incorporate it.
Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with additional mint, and enjoy!
All done! Enjoy!! Now take a photo, rate it, and share your accomplishments to enter our weekly photo contest! :) Tag @BlenderBabes & #BlenderBabes
Notes
* If your Vitamix blender does not have a "PULSE" feature, with the machine set to 10/high turn the machine on and off to equal 1 pulse.
