In just 2 minutes you can make this ginger beer mocktail using only 3 ingredients. Refreshing, sparkling and slightly sweet with lime, mint & ginger beer this is a grown-up drink - just without the alcohol.
Add lime wedges and mint leaves to a lowball/whiskey glass. Squeeze the lime wedges a bit before adding, to get some of the juice out from the start. Then muddle lime and mint until you've gotten most of the juice out of the lime.
½ lime, 20 small mint leaves
Add ice cubes and fill up with ginger beer. Decorate with a sprig of mint, and serve immediately!
⅔ cup non-alcoholic ginger beer, ice cubes, 1 sprig of mint

Notes
Use ginger ale instead of ginger beer for a sweeter and less spicy version
Don't muddle too much or the mint can become a bit bitter.
If you don't have muddler use the handle of a wooden spoon instead
Change up the garnishes. I like it with a spicy and/or salty rim as well, and you can also decorate it with a slice of ginger.
Prep ahead by muddling lime & mint in glasses ahead of time, then add ice cubes and ginger beer just before serving. Store the glasses in the fridge if you want to prep it more than an hour in advance.
