Notes

Ingredient notes & substitutions

Fresh mint leaves - only use the leaves, as the stem can be a bit bitter
Lime - only fresh lime will do here
Non-alcoholic ginger beer - use Ginger Ale instead for a sweeter and less spicy version

Tips & tricks

Don't muddle too much or the mint can become a bit bitter - this is why I squeeze the limes a bit while adding them
If you don't have muddler use the handle of a wooden spoon instead
Make it sweeter and less spicy by using Ginger Ale instead of Ginger Beer
Make it a cocktail by opting for an alcoholic ginger beer, or add a shot of your favorite spirit
