Cuisine: Cuban / American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6 to 8

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 5 - 6 cups soda water, or to taste
• 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• fresh lime slices and fresh mint for garnish

Here’s how to make it:

1. Start by making the simple syrup. In a saucepan, add the sugar and water then stir to combine. Add the fresh mint leaves and grated ginger to the pot. Cook over low-medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Strain the simple syrup mixture into a separate container and let cool for up to 10 minutes. You should have about 3/4 of a cup of simple syrup liquid.
2. Fill a pitcher with ice, then pour in 1/2 a cup of the simple syrup liquid.
3. Add fresh lime juice and the soda water ( the goal is to fill it to the top of the pitcher, but you can adjust the amount of soda water depending on how sweet you like your drink to be).
4. Garnish with fresh lime slices and additional mint leaves, if desired.
