Ingredients
10mint leaves
2ouncesfresh lime juice
ice
1.5ounceslight rum (optional if you want to turn this into a mocktail)
4ouncesginger beer
garnishes: fresh lime wedges or slicesfresh mint sprigs
Instructions
Muddle the mint together with the lime juice in a glass. Add a few large ice cubes, then pour in the rum and ginger beer. Finish the drink with additional garnishes, if desired.
(*I strained out the mint leaves that I used to muddle with the lime juice after the first step. Then added in a few extra fresh mint leaves along with the lime wedges as a garnish. Just a personal preference, but you can totally leave the original mint leaves in the drink if you’d like.)
