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
