SERVES 1
10 fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoon raw sugar
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon simple syrup
1/2 cup ginger ale, chilled
crushed ice
In a glass, muddle/crush the mint, then add sugar, lime juice and syrup. Add ice. Top with ginger ale. Garnish with a fresh lime wheel and a sprig of mint. Enjoy.
THIS IS GREAT IN THE SPRING OR SUMMER. IT’S VERY FRESH WITH THE MINT! THIS ALSO GOES WELL WITH AISIAN MEALS.
Note: Make the simple syrup ahead of time and let cool to room temperature. I will usually make a few cups and then store it in my pantry. I usually make all the drinks in a pitcher instead of measuring them out individually. I tend to guesstimate the amounts and then adjust the sweetness/sourness to taste.
SIMPLE SYRUP
1 part water
1 part sugar
Bring to a boil until sugar dissolves and let cool to room temperature. You can adjust the measurements to your needs.
