Why mocktails? Mocktails are specifically for days when you just don’t want to drink, crave something refreshing, and want to feel included in the crowd without consuming alcohol. Bonus: no hangover and an overall healthy alternative to alcohol. This was a request from the other evening. I took a couple of snaps with my iPhone for continuity—too good not to post!
A Ginger Mint Mocktail
Ingredients
3/4 ginger simple (skin on juiced fresh ginger+ sugar+water)
1 oz fresh lime juice
6-8 mint leaves for the muddling
2 mint with stems bunch ??
1 skin on lime for making the lime garnish
Fever Tree club soda (blue label, if possible)
Method
For the syrup
Juice three knobs of fresh ginger with the skin on. Combine the juice with equal parts water and sugar to create a ginger simple syrup. Store any unused syrup in a sealed container for up to two weeks.
For the drink
In a mixing tin, muddle the mint leaves. Add the ginger syrup, followed by the lime juice. Add ice and shake well. Strain the mixture into the same non-iced mixing tin you just used. Add club soda and stir, then let it sit for a moment to create a nice foam. Pour over ice and garnish with mint and a lime wedge.
Glass: bucket glass
Garnish: a couple of mint leaves stems and a neatly trimmed lime wedge
Bar Chef Notes: For the adult version, you know what to do. Cheers!
